President's Message
It is hard for me to believe that I am writing my last column as president. I know that it is an old saying, but time really does fly when you are having fun! I have thoroughly enjoyed my term and I hope that everyone benefited from the programs and activities that we have had as much as I did.
The theme for this year was “Embracing and Managing Change” and I believe that this theme was reflected in the excellent programs that we have had this year (great job Candace!). As a recap since our last newsletter we had: Greg Lambert of Jackson Walker in February, Mark Curridan of The Texas Lawbook in March, and Patricia Armstrong and Chappy Floyd of EBSCOHost in April (EBSCOHost also sponsored our delicious lunch - thank you!).
We also had a great Spring Institute in April that included Denise Chochrek (Senior Research Analyst for Frito Lay/Pepsico), Katie Hut (Manager of Library Relations, Practising Law Institute), Emily Rushing and Firiel Hubbell (Competitive Intelligence – Haynes & Boone), and our keynote speaker, Philip Rosenthal (Fastcase). Everyone did a fantastic job and I want to say a big thank you to them, our sponsor, Thomson Reuters, and to Johanna Johnson at the Dallas Public Library for hosting our Institute!
