Learn About Strategy Development at ALA’s Next Webinar

Effective strategy development can’t begin with “the way we’ve always done it.” The first steps in any journey forward begin with careful planning and analysis before starting out. The resulting actions need to be specific and measurable.

This interactive and relatable session will explore the intentional, proactive steps that every legal professional can take to effectively develop strategies to become less reactive. Join Affinity Managing Partner Debbie Foster as she shares her three keys to developing strategies that will help your law firm achieve lasting success. Visit alanet.org/upcoming-webinars to register.
