from the president T his is the time of year when we Chicagoans anticipate warm summer days on the lake and post-season baseball on both sides of town. We hope that many of our ILTA colleagues from other cities will visit to help us enjoy the former and ease our pain through the likely letdown of the latter. As the flowers begin to emerge, here too are updates on ILTA's emerging ventures: Knowledge Exchange: We continue to collaborate with other organizations to exchange knowledge and extend member benefits. We have introductory meetings in the works in the professional development arena, and we continue to work with our law school contacts to provide insight on technology curriculum targets for law students in exchange for legal training overviews and better insights on the most effective ways to deliver technology support to lawyers. Law Firm 101: We are putting the finishing touches on our Law Firm 101 initiative, a program that provides educational opportunities for our members to better understand the legal operations of firms and their clients/law departments.

We look forward to both enhancing and benefiting from your knowledge — ILTA is what it is because of the many contributions from you, its members!
