What are some of your proudest recent achievements? I am proud of two professional development programs we built at the firm: the GOAL program and the Pipeline program.

One of our first employees, Tanya Duprey, started with us many years ago as a secretary. From the beginning, Tanya demonstrated a tremendous appetite for learning and growth. As our firm evolved, she took on new responsibilities and positions. Every step of the way, we supported Tanya through continuing education, training and professional development. Today, Tanya is our firm administrator and recently served as President of the Association of Legal Administrators—New York City. Tanya may not realize it, but she was the inspiration for our GOAL program (which stands for Go Out and Learn and Lead). The GOAL Program enables every team member at the firm to pursue a professional goal or learning objective each year, and the firm supports the GOAL economically or otherwise. Recent examples of GOALs undertaken by our colleagues include becoming a mediator, publishing a book, becoming a certified fraud examiner, improving executive presence and public speaking, and fitness and wellness goals, among others.
