Kayla Broom, the firm’s director of professional development, and Katie McDaniel, the firm’s student programs manager, will speak at the NALP Annual Education Conference on the topic, “Recruit, Train, Retain: Elevating the Summer Associate Experience with PD.” During this session, Kayla and Katie will talk about the summer associate experience as more than just a recruiting pipeline and outline how the program is a crucial period for integration, professional development, and preparing future lawyers for long-term success. The presenters will share how professional development and recruiting teams can collaborate to create a seamless summer program experience that incorporates substantive training to develop the skills summer associates need, personalized coaching to support performance, and firmwide integration to foster an engaging environment that leads to increased retention.
The NALP Annual Education Conference will be held April 14-17 in Hollywood, Florida. More information and registration details about the conference can be found on the NALP website.
