Chris Sizemore is the Director of Special Programs on the LMASE Board of Directors this year. He has been busy over the last few months working on our region's strategic initiatives. Two of those initiatives are; Law School Outreach and a yearlong Future Leaders Roundtable (FLR).

  

Law school outreach continues to be a focus for LMA as we look towards the future of our industry. Our goal is to bring awareness of LMA to the next generation of lawyers. Achieving this by creating programs held onsite at law schools for law students. These programs will bring in current legal leaders at the Executive, CMO, CBD, and Lawyer (first-year to senior) levels. Programs are free for law students; however, this will give us an opportunity to discuss our student membership opportunities. Initial programs will focus on "what you need to know going from law student to the practice of law."

  

Our FLR focuses on members with five years or less of law firm marketing or business development experience. Through a partnership with GrowthPlay, the Atlanta Local Steering Committee along with current Atlanta FLR Chairs, Madeleine Fahnely and Kaitlyn Ball, will lead the programming. We outlined five class topics that will run from April - October of 2017. The pilot FLR will conclude with members presenting to the group, guest CMOs and lawyers on what they learned.  Our goals are to educate, advance the careers of our members, and to continue to show the value LMA brings to law firms.
