BCLMA President's Report
Message From the Board
This spring, we brought our community together for a conference and marketplace that sparked meaningful conversations, fresh ideas, and new connections. The biennial event delivered an experience that will help all law-firm managers "thrive"! Thank you to the conference committee, delegates, and sponsors for making it a success. Read more about it in our summer issue of the Topics newsletter.
The Board hosted the Annual General Meeting on May 1st. Three Director positions were open this year. We are pleased that Priscilla Martindale was elected for an additional term and has stayed on as Secretary. We are also happy to welcome Kathleen Brett and Natalie Leon as new Directors. We all look forward to another productive year.
On May 7th, our educational session featured a fireside chat with Tricia Smith, Olympian and President of the Canadian Olympic Committee. The subsections also kept busy with valuable presentations and webinars for members. Visit the Events page of the website to stay on top of upcoming events.
We wrapped up spring with our annual Summer Social at Tap & Barrel Bridges. Another fun evening with great food and great company. Thank you to all the attendees and generous sponsors!
After 20 years of dedicated service, Jane Kennedy retired from BCLMA at the end of May. We extend our sincere thanks to her and wish her all the best on a well-deserved and fulfilling retirement!
We are pleased to have Patricia Tait and Suzanne Sumera join Heather Orchison on the BCLMA administrative team.
Enjoy the summer!
