Special Announcement
2019 FELLOW AND PATHFINDER NOMINATIONS
Did you value what you learned and the connections you made during your LCLD Fellows year? Has being a member of the Fellows Alumni community helped enrich your career? Are there others in your organization who you think would benefit from the LCLD Fellows Program?
If you answered, "Yes!" to any of these questions, be sure to share your story and ensure that your organization participates in the 2019 Fellows Program. Please reach out to the LCLD Member General Counsel or Managing Partner and diversity contacts at your organization to start the conversation. Feel free to also review and share the LCLD Fellows Program Prospectus and Member Tool Kit, which are important resources for the program.
LCLD is accepting 2019 Fellow nominations now through Friday, February 1, 2019. However, please start those conversations now so LCLD Members have time to make informed nominations.
Additionally, if you know of any early-career attorneys at your organization that would benefit from participating in the Pathfinder Program, we encourage you to pass their names along for consideration in the 2019 Pathfinder Program, accepting selections now through Friday, February 8, 2019.
We hope that you will pay your Fellows experience forward by encouraging LCLD Members to continue to provide this leadership and relationship-building opportunity to other talented attorneys at your organization.
