2023 is on a full-out sprint, yet we have had so many excellent opportunities to connect and learn in the Midwest! It’s been a pleasure for the board to get out to see and meet so many of you across the region at socials, through virtual programming and of course at the annual conference this spring.
We’d like to keep the momentum going and ensure our 2023 goals of Meaningful Connection and Actionable Education are put into practice with the LMA Midwest Regional Conference, coming to Chicago October 2-3. We’re anxious to present valuable and practical programming that you can take back and apply in your firms, not to mention, in-person connection with your LMA peers!
Click here to see the latest programming across the region. Whether that is a webinar, a regional program, a mentoring coffee (iced for me!) or an in-person neighborhood meet-up -- we believe these are the essential ingredients to help a legal marketer grow, flourish and exceed their personal and professional development goals. Association-wide, there is always something new here on the LMA website, where you can connect with Communities, join and access Shared Interest Groups (SIGs), catch up on program recordings, LMA Strategies and the LMA Podcast, new complimentary content from PLI, the Body of Knowledge, and more.
New to LMA and looking for ways to get involved? Consider volunteering, especially in your backyard. Our Local Steering Committees are always looking for members to provide a helping hand. Are you the only member in your area for miles? We've got you. Ask me about connecting with other Midwest members like you. Or, if volunteering will not fit into your busy schedule, considering joining us for an upcoming program or social event. Not sure where to start? Please reach out to any of the Midwest Board of Directors - I can vouch for every one of us when I say that we genuinely enjoy connecting members.
I would be thrilled to hear from you and am always up for a chat. You can reach me at jlshankleton@bmdllc.com.
