What Leading Professionals are Saying

Being an in-house IP counsel, I have seen and experienced fabulous opportunities for professional growth from my active involvement with the ABA-IPL Section. As one example, as a past leader in our Section's In-house IP Committee, I have organized well-attended CLE events & webinars catered to in-house communities. I've also had opportunities to coauthor informative articles and have my group's voice heard on Section-proposed resolutions and other commentary on key IP matters.

I have been a member of the ABA-IPL Section since I was a law student involved in the Law Student Action Group and as a Law Student Reporter for the Section Annual Meeting. Making connections with attorneys during my law school career developed into lasting relationships. My involvement allows me to give back to the profession, increases my communication and leadership skills, challenges me, and allows me to interact with professionals across the country.
