From the Missouri chapter of NAELA, kudos go to Samantha Shepherd, current MoNAELA Chapter Treasurer, for being elected MoNAELA Outstanding Member of the Year! Samantha will receive her award at the Seattle NAELA Annual Conference in April.
Among her many contributions to the Chapter:
Successful establishment of our websites, http://www.monaela.com and its identical twin,
http://www.monaela.org. For several years the Board discussed and brain-stormed about creating and maintaining a MoNAELA Chapter website. But the person who actually got it done (at significantly less cost than “market rates”) was Samantha. The site is maintained, updated and monitored by our staff assistant Diane Carey (who replaced retiring Ann Bickel). If you have suggestions for adding to the website, feel free to contact the Chair of the Publications Committee (currently Christine Gilsinan, cag@solaw.com)Samantha and Mike Weeks (a former recipient of the MoNAELA Member of the Year) are co-chairs of the annual NAELA Conference which will take place in Seattle April 25 -28, 2012. This is a HUGE undertaking which anyone who has attended a national NAELA event can attest to.
Working to promote this year’s National Health Care Decision Day, Samantha has organized attorney volunteers, staffed senior centers, independent and assisted living facilities in the Kansas City, Missouri area, spoken on a radio show, blogged and sent out a newsletter highlighting the importance of completing your health care directives.
Congratulations (and thank you) Samantha!
