Special Announcement
FELLOWS ALUMNI SURVEY: Win a coaching session with Fellow Heather Hubbard!
LCLD is excited to announce the launch of this year’s Fellows Alumni Survey! The survey takes less than 10 minutes and helps demonstrate the value of the Fellows Program and the Alumni network. It also helps ensure that as LCLD grows, both the Fellows Program and the Alumni network continue to meet your needs.
Click here to begin taking the survey.
We will be raffling off a coaching session with 2013 Fellow Heather Hubbard to one Fellow who completes the survey before the deadline of Wednesday, November 27. Heather is fully booked for 2020, so this is your only chance to get a coaching session with her in the coming year.
We are also offering prizes (and bragging rights!) to the class with the highest response rate. The class of 2018 remains in the lead, but there's still time for others to catch up!
| Fellows Class | Response Rate |
| 2018 | 43% |
| 2015 | 23.2% |
| 2016 | 22.9% |
| 2017 | 22.2% |
| 2014 | 21.9% |
| 2011 | 18.9% |
| 2013 | 14.9% |
| 2012 | 14.8% |
If you have any questions about the survey, email Caitlin Puffenberger, Communications Manager, at cpuffenberger@lcldnet.com.
Please note: This survey is for Fellows in classes 2011 through 2018. If you are a 2019 Fellow, you do not need to complete this survey.
2020 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 2020 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 2020 Fellow nominations now through Friday, January 31, 2020. 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 2020 Pathfinder Program, accepting selections now through Friday, February 7, 2020.
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.
Fellows Events and Opportunities
PAY IT FORWARD: LCLD Pathfinders need your advice on managing up!
Managing up is a challenging but crucial skill—and it's not usually something you can ask your boss about. Do you have suggestions on how to manage your relationship with your superior(s)? What worked for you in the past, or what would you do differently? LCLD Pathfinders want to know! Send any suggestions to Communications Manager at Caitlin Puffenberger at cpuffenberger@lcldnet.com, and we'll incorporate them in our "You Asked, Fellows Answered" column in the Pathfinder newsletter.
