Braving the harsh weather conditions, 15 Future Leaders met on March 15 at Kelley Drye's offices for Eva Wisnik's annual program with the Shared Interest Group. This year’s presentation was on the “State of the Law Firm Marketing and BD Industry.” Eva and her colleague, Raashi Chary, discussed interesting insights on a few different topics including: job market trends derived from Wisnik's 2016 survey of almost 300 legal Marketing/BD professionals in the Greater New York area, the core competencies that have a direct impact on success and career growth, and the "unwritten rules of success" as shared with Eva by marketing chiefs and directors. 
The Future Leaders SIG is designed to provide professional development and networking opportunities for law firm marketing professionals with approximately five years of experience at a law firm or agency. The SIG has more than 80 members, representing over 45 law firms and agencies. The SIG regularly hosts roundtable meetings and networking events that are organized by Co-Chairs Rosa Colon and Emily Zubkoff. Open only to members of LMA, these meetings will be interactive and informative.
