In 2007, PDLG held a symposium for law firm associates, primarily mid-level associates. The goal of this symposium was to help them think about how to take charge of their careers and how to be the lawyers their firms needed and wanted to retain. The symposium was led by Werten Bellamy, Esq., President of Stakeholders, Inc. The focus of the presentation was to give guidance and advice on creating and implementing strategies to help associates be self-directed about their careers and make decisions that would help them advance and accomplish their goals.
