Vested Interest May 2024

Gratitude. Thanks. Appreciation. 

This year has gone by in a flash. I have so many people to thank and acknowledge for their generous and unflagging support of ITLA and of me personally. 

Above all I want to thank Jim Collins. More than any other individual, Jim is the essence of ITLA. I don’t think a blade of grass grows in Springfield without Jim knowing about it. He knows strategy, data and every ally and opponent of our clients’ rights. Our daily 8:15 calls kept us on track and moving forward throughout the year. I can’t thank him enough.

Tim McLean and Katie Davis are extraordinary strategists and encyclopedias of the legislative process. Being part of their entourage in the Capitol is an experience everyone in this organization should do at least once. 

Linda Benedict is a force of nature. I truly cannot describe what she does for ITLA because she does everything. Any question beginning with ‘How do we..’ or ‘Who is..’ is answered by Linda before you can even finish the question.
