Happy New Year! Thank you for your continued membership in our LMA community — I’m looking forward to tackling 2025 together. (And in case you still need to renew your membership, here's the link!)
As I reflect on the past year, I'm reminded of the old adage, "The only constant is change." For me, that has taken shape in recently welcoming my first child while adapting to a new firm and job, all at the same time!
While the change I’m navigating is on the more extreme end of the spectrum, each of us is experiencing change in our own way. In our industry, change is manifesting in evolving client expectations, advancements in AI and legal tech, and shifting global market dynamics.
Let’s use this year to reframe how we view change: It’s not just inevitable; it’s an opportunity to grow stronger together. Let’s commit to sharing insights, collaborating where we can, and lifting each other up in the midst of challenges.
LMA is here to provide you with programming and a supportive community to help you stay informed, supported, and prepared to turn change into a powerful driver of success. Please reach out to the West Region Board anytime with ideas, requests, just to say hi — we are honored to serve this community and look forward to connecting with each of you.
With appreciation,
Geneva Granatstein
LMA West Region President
