I was admitted into the Federation 2 years ago and attended
my first meeting
in Austin, Texas in March 2019. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the one thing I

as a Vice Chair of the Property Insurance Section. Halfway into the year, the committee that was planning the Insurance Industry Institute (I-3) conference needed help, and I volunteered to help with planning.
Fast forward to 2020, which was a year like no other! Again, I raised my hand. At our last in-person meeting, Mike Glascott and I discussed my involvement with different committees. Shortly after that meeting, the world shut down, but the FDCC did not! A new committee was formed to offer a virtual I-3 conference for 2020 so I volunteered to help with the planning. I was also asked
to serve as Chair of the Property Insurance Section; and I was asked to serve as Vice Chair for the 2021 I-3 conference, the Professional
Women’s Forum, and FedLIFE committee. As part of the FedLIFE committee, I have organized a
new committee “FedCooks” and several virtual activities (which is ironic since I’m not a great cook), but it has been such a fun way to spend time with other FDCC home cook members. I was also asked to continue my service as a member of the Admissions Committee, which consistently reminds me of the high standards for admission into the FDCC.
Raising my hand and truly getting involved with the FDCC reinforces every day how exceptional the FDCC and its members are! It
has also had the added benefit of helping me get to know other FDCC members. At a time when we were not seeing people in person, I’ve really had a chance to connect with members through my work on these committees. I’m so grateful
to be a part of such a wonderful organization, I am looking forward to connecting with them all in person, and I’m proud that I raised my hand and am a small part in helping it become even stronger.
Raising My Hand
can clearly remember was sitting in the New Member Orientation and thinking I could not believe that I had been admitted into the FDCC. The investigation process was extensive; the standards are high; and all of the members are exceptional. I was so grateful to
be included in the ranks of these lawyers who were looked to as leaders in their respective legal communities. At that moment, I told myself that I was going to raise my hand and get involved in the FDCC.
I told everyone I met at the meeting that I wanted to be an active member. I wanted to be involved;
I wanted to serve on committees; and I wanted to contribute to the FDCC. And the FDCC took me
up on it! I was asked to sit on the Admissions Committee and serve
