In honor of this year's #WomensHistoryMonth theme "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations” we are recognizing women who exemplify strength, mentorship, and leadership. Today we recognize Paralegal Manager Lori Hanlon as she shares her thoughts on the importance of mentorship for our future generations: What attributes do you think make a good mentor and leader? "A good mentor and leader should possess strong communication skills and extensive knowledge and expertise in their field. They need to be able to connect with people, creating a safe space where individuals feel comfortable asking questions. Additionally, mentors and leaders should be supportive, patient, and empathetic, providing the necessary encouragement and understanding to foster growth. They should also have the ability to inspire their mentees, motivating them to strive for and achieve great things!" What does mentorship mean to you and why do you think it is important? "Mentorship is all about paying it forward. I believe this wholeheartedly. We have all been new to something at some point in our lives. Achieving success often results from the support and guidance of those who have helped us along the way. Never forget where you came from! I find tremendous joy from seeing someone I have helped blossom in their personal and/or professional life." . . . #WomensHistoryMonth #WomensHistoryMonth2025 #Herstory #PayitForward #WomenEmpowerment

As an architect or engineer, protecting yourself from potential claims and liabilities—such as design errors, construction defects, or cost overruns—is essential. One way to mitigate risk is through well-drafted indemnity clauses in your contracts. But not all indemnity clauses are created equal. Understanding indemnity clauses can safeguard your business and financial security.

In honor of this year's #WomensHistoryMonth theme "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations” we are recognizing women who exemplify strength, mentorship, and leadership that inspire our members to be better, personally and professionally. Counsel Becky Wohltman reflects on a woman in her life that started as a beacon of guidance and comfort in the early stages of her professional career, that then flourished into a lifelong friendship. Read more from Becky here: "Sometimes in life you have the good fortune of meeting people who turn out to be lifelong friends and mentors. Joni Bastian, Vice President of Student Affairs at McKendree University, is one of those people. When I arrived on campus, I did not know a single person. During my time at McKendree, I became connected and friends with the Student Affairs staff. They took me under their wing and were my parents away from home. Joni’s passion for current and former students is easy to see and comes through in her dedication to nurturing each student. She guides them through their time on campus, keeps in touch with them after graduation, attends their weddings, and loves their kids as if they were her own. Joni has always been there to support and encourage me – through law school, in starting my career, and in life decisions. I don’t know where life would have taken me without Joni, but I am thankful that I met her when I was a young college student. Her passion for helping others has made a difference in the lives of thousands of people, including my own." . . . #WomenEmpoweringWomen #WomensHistoryMonth2025 #Herstory
