News from the Desk: January 2017

By February 2, 2017 March 4th, 2020 No Comments

Happy 2017! As the new year begins, I look forward to positive experiences and opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally. I hope that 2017 brings you much happiness and success!

And speaking of growth in the new year, my latest article series in the ABA’s GPSolo eReport is “Spark: Tips for Maintaining Your Passion for the Practice of Law.” I hope it’s an interesting read for anyone in their mid-career or late-career phase! Please check it out and let me know what you think.

Our team proudly joined a group of over 900 attorneys to hear Eugene Robinson speak at the King County Bar Association’s Martin Luther King, Jr. lunch  on January 13.

On January 12, I presented on Business Law Essentials to local entrepreneurs for the Small Business Administration’s Seattle office. I’ve enjoyed a wonderful relationship with the SBA for almost 15 years, and consider it a privilege to contribute to our entrepreneurial community.

On January 13 and 14, I participated in our yearly Tennis Outreach Programs Board Retreat! Our Board retreat is a critical aspect of operating our nonprofit, as we get to map out our year and our goals for TOPs. As most of you know, I am a proud TOPs Board member, enthusiastically supporting the goal of “empowering youth for lifetime success through tennis, education, fitness and character development regardless of economic circumstance.”

As always, I would love to hear your questions and comments. If you have any questions about our firm and the work we do, please contact me or visit our website at www.staceyromberg.com.
