I have had the pleasure of knowing Ida for a number years, initially through her thought-leadership in attorney career development and the advancement of women in the legal profession. She has been a mentor, sponsor, collaborator, role-model, and friend through all of my career transitions. Ida has always been at the forefront of efforts to manage, develop and retain talent and I am continually inspired by her vision, the innovative programming she designs and the inventive (yet practical) strategies she implements for her clients.
