Hello New Community!
I'm Windley Hofler Walden, the Director of Professional Development and Associate Recruiting at Stevens & Lee, a law firm of ~200 lawyers across 16 offices, primarily in Central PA and NJ. I also handle the firm's CLE functions. While I have a great administrative assistant and collaborate with our two shareholder recruiters, I am essentially a department of one! I wear many hats, my favorite of which is universal mentor and coach to our 50 associates.
I'm so pleased to see this group forming and look forward to sharing ideas a resources with similarly situated colleagues!
