#membershipmonday Meet our board member, Will Fletcher. He has been on the board since 2022! Company/Role: Zasio - My official, unofficial title is “Legal Department of 1,” and within that role, I wear many hats. Role on the board: I joined the programs committee in 2021 shortly after going in-house and now I am currently chair of the programs committee. I’ve also served on the annual tech law symposium planning team, which is a really great event each spring in Salt Lake City that all members should consider attending. What do you enjoy about being on the board? I absolutely love getting to know my fellow in-house lawyers on the board. They all have exciting backgrounds and are a great source of ideas and energy. I also enjoy helping plan the many CLE events our chapter puts on. As in-house counsel, there’s a whole lot we must stay current on. It’s a rewarding experience helping select what topics we cover and speakers we feature to ensure our members take a lot of value back to their orgs. #accmw #boiselawyer #inhousecounsel
