Notes from Us
I would like to thank all of you for the past 10 years in which I have had the immense pleasure of serving as Director of Alumni Relations and Associate Life. Now that I know our alumni program is in excellent hands, I am excited to take my passion and experience to develop a new global initiative focused on Well-being and Career Services. I look forward to working with professional staff colleagues and affiliated coaches to help our Cleary lawyers, alumni and staff fulfill their personal and career goals. Elizabeth and I will continue to collaborate closely as we launch these increased services to enhance your lifelong Cleary experience.
Thank you for your ongoing friendship, Norma
With gratitude to Norma and appreciation for her indefatigable dedication to the firm and its alumni, I am excited to take the baton and lead the Alumni Relations team into its next decade. In addition to ensuring that associates continue to have a smooth transition from the firm to the alumni network, I will serve as the firm’s primary liaison to our global alumni community and lead alumni engagement efforts for all 16 offices with Jaime Laliberte and Lindsey Baumler. Please see the last page for additional details. We are proud to be trusted with the future of the most well-established law firm alumni program and look forward to your continued active participation.
Wishing you a Happy New Year, Elizabeth
