Dearest EDRM Community,
The word of the week is: Agility.
In our legal tech world this week, we lost Craig Weilein at the helm of The Sedona Conference, we celebrated our EDRM leaders who were Chambers Ranked and Ralph Losey secured Florida CLE credit for his GenAI webinar at the end of June.
The EDRM Community joins The Sedona Conference in mourning the death of their Executive Director, Craig Weilein. May his memory be a blessing.
Kaylee Walstad and Mary Mack.
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 227th weekly Community Support Call.
