64 M E M B E R R E S O U R C E S From ILTA's New VP of Education T hank you all so much for the warm welcome at ILTACON 2019! It was such an amazing conference and the best part for me was interacting with you! I love to see our amazing volunteers in action at the conference. If you would like to sign up to volunteer for ILTA, go to our website (www.iltanet.org) and click the "Get Involved" link. I hit that button nearly 15 years ago and it was the best thing I ever did for myself and my career. Getting involved and collaborating with our peers is the key ingredient to the ILTA "secret sauce." Finding your people creates that "family feel" we are known for and when you finally meet "your people" at an ILTA event, you have already made that step to expand your circle of understanding one handshake at a time. Our events are filled with so many amazing people all with diverse backgrounds, and experience. I hope we all recognize that every human being is unique and has something to offer to our ILTA conversation. So, if it wasn't your turn to attend ILTACON this year and you were wondering if you were missed – you were. If you were wondering if anyone noticed that you couldn't attend that monthly meeting - they did! We are a family centered around one focus - Legal Technolo and all the education, conversation and collaboration involved in that! I send this message out to all those who feel like they are not being seen or heard – We see you! We hear you! We want you to be involved! Our education team would love your feedback on our peer-powered ILTA educational content, content delivery methods and events. If there is something that you need and aren't seeing – please reach out to me (marti@iltanet.org) and let me know what we can do to engage YOU in the ILTA conversation! To all those who want to participate – you are welcome at ILTA! Please take care of each other.
