Susan Estes exemplifies what it means to be an extraordinary SDPA supporter, and our admiration for her knows no bounds! As an outstanding eMentor, she’s the LinkedIn connection that effortlessly elevates your network. Hats off to her for this heartfelt call to action—celebrating your paralegals showcases the kind of impactful leadership that inspires us all. #ediscovery #kindness

The importance of leadership is emphasized by many organizations, but true leadership shines through action. Kristine Custodio Suero ⚖️ 📚 exemplifies this by leading through her involvement with the Foundation for Filipina Women's Network. We proudly support both her efforts and the organization’s mission.

Last night’s joint MCLE with Women in eDiscovery, San Diego was a huge success. Tom O'Connor and Brett Burney for Nextpoint brought the holiday cheer and the NOLA Santa Claus! Jennifer Chapman Arnold, the new SDWiE director & Katie Oliver, ACP & Dorie Elliot will be making the community events in 2025 stellar.

A huge shoutout to everyone who purchased raffle tickets at our holiday party! We have been asked to re-open the donation window to allow those who could not attend donate to the amazing Rancho Coastal Humane Society as well. As with the raffle proceeds, all donations are being made in honor of the late Carolee Byrley, who not only was an avid supporter of SDPA and Virtual Lunch with Leaders but a passionate advocate for dog rescue organizations.

Last week was absolutely wonderful! | Over one-third of the nominees for the prestigious Gayle O'Connor Spirit Award were supporters and/or guests of the Virtual Lunch with Leaders. This remarkable forum brings together innovators, collaborators, and leaders in the legal field to share ideas and inspire growth. We’re also thrilled to highlight one of our incredible supporters, Chere Estrin, who has penned a thoughtful and practical article on the art of "storytelling emails." Her insights demonstrate how weaving compelling narratives into your emails can create stronger connections and drive engagement. We’d love to hear from you! Share your thoughts, additional ideas, or just join us in cheering Chere on in the comments below. Let’s keep the conversation going!
