Another addition is the LSSO Editorial Board. This
Board is going to help us achieve our goal of continuing to provide the
industry’s leading information and resources and sales and service
issues.
For example, look for a new column, “Business
Developments,” by Steve Nelson at The McCormick Group, who’ll
report who’s doing what where. If you have either a job opening or
professional announcement you’d like published by LSSO, please send it to
jobbank@legalsales.org.
Our Ask/Meet a Rainmaker series continues with a boost of
information and resources as we now co-present the column with the ABA Women
Rainmakers.

The RainDance Conference 2004 showcased a simply
outstanding faculty. Attendees left with new ideas and practical information
they could immediately apply to their practices. Most importantly, they
participated in a program that was a milestone for the industry.
Blogs by Larry Bodine and Amy Campbell are great for
getting the educational (not to mention industry) scoop. Check out these hot
blog spots:
