It was an honor to work with Ida in her role as Director of the Hastings Leadership Academy for Women (an executive education program for women law firm partners sponsored by The Project for Attorney Retention and The Center for WorkLife Law at Hastings College of the Law). Ida's extensive experience and meticulous attention to detail ensured the program was right on point, offering the knowledge and skills participants need to enhance their ability to succeed in leadership roles. Her deep concern for their individual development made it a life changing experience for participants.
