COMMUNICATIONS
Are you or your firm active on Twitter? Are you using it as a tool to engage with clients, colleagues, friends and legislators? If so, we invite you to connect with GTLA and your fellow members today. 

We have created a list of all GTLA members (that we have found so far!) on Twitter. In order to view the list and "follow" those already on it, simply visit: https://twitter.com/GeorgiaTLA/gtla-members/members. And while you're there, be sure to "follow" us, too, at https://twitter.com/GeorgiaTLA

 
GRASSROOTS REPORT
As your GTLA Grassroots Coordinator and also a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, I have witnessed first-hand the profound effect that proactive citizen involvement can have on each action taken underneath the Gold Dome. I have also seen, both from a GTLA and a legislative perspective, how important the PAC is to continuing the protection of the Civil Justice System. At the Capitol, your legislative team’s efforts have truly been second-to-none.

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS
In addition to the new members that GTLA is proud to welcome below, we would also like to take a moment to introduce our new Director of Member Services, Brittany Thomsen Gurley! Brittany joined us last week at GTLA HQ, and we are thrilled to have her on board. She will be working closely with our Membership Committee and Chairman Alwyn Fredericks, and member retention and recruitment will be a focus as we move forward as an Association. Brittany can be reached at bgurley@gtla.org or (404) 522-8487 x24.

Welcome aboard, Brittany!
