info_outlineMy guest today is Heidi Alexander, who is the Deputy Director of the Massachusetts Group Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers (or LCL). This is such a commendable group since their mission is to confidentially promote well-being and resilience in the legal community.
In her role at the LCL, Heidi also leads the Law Office Management Assistance Program that we usually shorten to LOMAP, and since she’s in Massachusetts, we just usually say MassLOMAP.
And the purpose of LOMAP is to help attorneys, or soon-to-be attorneys, implement professional office practices and procedures, through the site’s wealth of resources on technology, workflows, and consulting services.
Heidi also serves on the ABA TECHSHOW Planning Board, and was gracious enough to invite me to present on Macs in Law at this year’s conference, which is where I also heard HER presentations and HER wonderful infatuation with Apple products … I just had to invite her on the podcast.
Oh … and she also wrote a book on Evernote for the ABA called “Evernote as a Practice Tool” which is fantastic.
Here’s also a great blog post from Heidi on “How to Use Evernote as a Law Practice Tool” which also covers how to scan business cards too.
