  Welcome to the First State Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators. We hope you enjoy browsing our website and I invite you to take a tour of this interactive Chapter management tool.

Please be sure to visit our Business Partners Section.  We are very grateful to them for all their support and without whom we could not accomplish so many Chapter initiatives. Please remember to consider them first for all your office needs.

Curious about what we have been up to, consider visiting event central.  It highlights the programs offered to help administrators manage, react and adapt to the many challenges of a busy law office.

On May 14, 2012 the First State Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators (FSALA) held their Fourth Annual Leadership Forum at the Hotel DuPont.  Leaders from law firms throughout Wilmington gathered to mingle and enjoy dinner and drinks while listening to St. Joseph’s University Men’s Basketball Coach Phil Martelli present “All Great Teams Have Great Coaches.”  Coach Martelli entertained attendees with lively, funny and inspirational stories and lessons he has learned during his many years of coaching the Hawks, including the power of “thank you.” 

Prior to Coach Martelli’s keynote, Tom Herweg, CLM of Morris James LLP presented Kellie Snyder of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A. the FSALA Outstanding Volunteer Award.  Ms. Snyder has chaired the First State Chapter’s Community relations committee for the last four years and has tirelessly worked with her chapter to give back to the Wilmington community.  Among the Chapters many projects, Kellie has led and organized FSALA’s Operation Warm (2010) which resulted in the Chapter being able to purchase over 500 coats for needy children.  She also organized the FSALA Children’s book drive (2011), in which more than 2,100 books were collected and distributed to needy daycare centers.  Kellie and her committee also organize the FSALA Annual Food Drive and Halloween party both of which benefit the Emmanuel Dining Room and the families it serves.  Congratulations Kellie!
