✨ "We're making memories."✨

Not just for the highlight reel — but for the hard moments, too.

In our latest blog post, ACLEA Membership Committee Chair Gina Roers-Liemandt reflects on the phrase her dad repeated throughout her childhood and what it taught her about leadership, resilience, and showing up even when things feel messy.

It's a beautiful read for anyone in the CLE community — or honestly, anyone who leads, mentors, or supports others.

💡 "Sponsorship isn't favoritism. It's leadership."

At ACLEA's Mid-Year Meeting, Gina Roers-Liemandt and Dr. Lynn Levis led a powerful conversation about what really shapes leadership opportunities — and why the focus needs to shift from "fixing" women to fixing the culture.

Key insight: Women aren't under-mentored. They're under-sponsored. The people who already have influence and access play a critical role in making sure talent is visible where decisions are made.

ACLEAs 61st Annual Meeting would not have been such a success without the support of the entire Ewald Consulting team, especially Laurie, Taylor, Kari, Cassie and Emilie. Thank you to everyone for their hard work and help!

A very big thank you to all our speakers for taking time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge/expertise with us this past weekend.
