Heather Benton represents the California Young Lawyers Association with the California Lawyers Association.  She hails from Glendale where she works for the State Compensation Insurance Fund.  I could not find one photo of Heather anywhere on the internet.  That is hard to do these days.  Regardless, Heather is a fearless advocate for her section and really embraces her work with the CLA.

Unlike Heather, who does not have a website or photos on the internet, Phil has no business cards but a vast web presence.  Nevertheless, I told him I would do a profile on him just because he is such a fascinating character.

Phil serves on the California Lawyers Association Board of Directors on behalf of the Labor and Employment Section.  He lives in San Francisco and his office is in beautiful downtown Oakland.  Phil represents workers in litigation against their employers.  He’s a tireless advocate for numerous things with the board, but most notably diversity.

Ellen Miller is the Director of Strategic Partnerships and Initiatives with the California Lawyers Association. She is the former Executive Director and CEO of the San Diego County Bar Association. She has also worked at the American Bar Association and State Bar of California. You can find her on Twitter @emillerprogress. Also, she and I sat next to each other during the crowded second day. I’m impressed with her tireless efforts and enthusiasm for her job. We are counting of capable leaders like her to help shape our organization. Check out the CLA’s website.

Linda provides the accounting and reports for the California Lawyers Association.  It’s an important aspect of all how we grow our organization and shape all of our events.  Thank you for your work, Linda!  Can we get a color photo of you some day? Learn more about Linda Geery.

First off, this is the heaviest business card I’ve ever felt.  It’s basically like 3-4 cards in thickness.  Meghan and her creative director Ashley Rodseth have done an excellent job with California Lawyers Association’s new branding which is soon to roll out.  I am personally very excited by the mixture of simplicity and modern cutting-edge the new CLA branding will have.  I cannot wait to implement it in future e-news’.  You can find Honey on twitter @workbyhoney.  Thank you, Meghan and Ashley. Check out the Honey website.

I never had business cards when I was in law school…very impressive.  I met Matthew at the Real Property Law Section Summer Soiree on June 20, 2019 at the Loma Club in San Diego.  Matthew steadily made his rounds talking to many real estate attorneys and sought guidance and help on shaping his career.  Nice to meet you, Matthew.  You have a bright future.  Just listen to what I said! 8^D
