Reflections on My Term as ITLA President

As my term as President of ITLA comes to a close, I am filled with gratitude, pride, and optimism for the future of this organization. Over the past year, ITLA has continued its critical role advocating for victims’ rights. I am honored to have served as President and am grateful for our dedicated Executive Committee, Board of Managers, and every ITLA member.

The work we do would not be possible without our hardworking staff. I greatly appreciate the counsel of Executive Director Jim Collins, whose dedication and expertise is unmatched.  Jim was my first phone call every morning of my term. I would also like to thank the entire ITLA staff — Tim McLean, Katie Davis, Angela Vincent, Paula Allen, Kevilee Nibbe, Linda Benedict, and Emily Tully — for their professionalism, dedication, and tireless efforts behind the scenes that ensure ITLA continues to thrive year after year for the needs of our members and clients.
