Note from the Editor
This month, we welcome two new members to our Board of Editors. Allan H. Colman, who will write our new bi-monthly column, 'Client Speak,' is the Managing Director of The Closers Group. Allan has spent more than 20 years leading law firms and professional services firms providing services to generate more revenue. He has spent many years listening to in-house counsel make decisions, and their reasoning for selecting their outside firms. We are very excited to have Allan, who holds Masters and Doctorate degrees from New York University, as one of our regular columnists.
Dr. Sharon Meit Abrahams has 20 years of experience in the training and education field. She specializes in client relations, human resources, marketing, sales, management development training, and communication.

Sharon holds a Master's degree in training and education, and a Bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Miami, and received her doctorate in adult education from Nova Southeastern University.
I also wanted to mention that we will be featuring a special report in our regular August issue. In an effort to pay homage to those partners in law firms whom we value as leaders in marketing and business development, we will again be presenting the 'Best of Law Firm Leaders in Marketing.' If any of you would like to submit for consideration a partner from your firm who embodies an understanding and appreciation of the marketing profession, please e-mail me at [email protected]. Chairs of law firms, managing partners or marketing partners who have 'moved the agenda forward' to help Chief Marketing Officers and Directors accomplish their goals are eligible.
