Dearest EDRM Community,
Word of the week: Gratitude.
In legal tech last week, the EDRM community reached a heartwarming milestone as we celebrated our 300th Community Support Call. The San Diego Paralegal Association graciously invited us to host their Friendsgiving edition of their Virtual Lunch with Leaders, where we shared reflections and gratitude for our beloved Kaylee Walstad and the spirit of community she inspired in all of us.
As we pause to give thanks, the EDRM Team will be out of the office celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday with our friends and loved ones. We will return on December 2.
Mary Mack, EDRM.
We wish everyone a restorative week filled with gratitude, connection, and care, wherever you are and however you spend it.
Let’s remain united in our support for each other. For support or to assist a colleague, contact us at info@edrm.net and join our weekly Community Support Call, now in its sixth year.
