Women in eDiscovery Charity Drive
Lana Schell checks in to let us know about a project underway by the new group, Women in E-Discovery
(affectionately nicknamed, "Skirts in EDD"). WiE has adopted the Susan
G. Komen Foundation as its national charity, and is establishing teams
in each of the cities where the annual three day, 60-mile walk is held.
Currently there are teams forming in Philly, D.C., and they expect
more. "Our goal is to raise $300,000,
" she says.
The new organization already boasts 700 members. The gimmick: because WiE doesn't charge membership fees, they are asking participants who are benefiting from the group and its meetings and networking opptys to "pay it forward" and donate what they would expect to pay in membership fees to the Komen group. Details here.
P.S.: Ms. Schell will be attending the New York City WiE chapter meeting Friday, Nov. 9, at noon, at Patterson Belknap, 1133 6th Av. Details: Shawnna Childress.
