Welcome to CFCALA!

Dear Members, Business Partners, and Potential Members,

As I begin my term as President of the Central Florida Association of Legal Administrators (CFCALA), I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this chapter and the community of professionals who make it so valuable.

I would first like to recognize several members of our 2025-2026 Executive Board who I have had the pleasure to learn from and collaborate with. Anthony Santos (Treasurer), Jean Carafiello-Shimp (Secretary), and Jane Corser (Immediate Past President), have each given their time and thoughtful leadership to the chapter. I would also like to thank Julie Cooney for her direction and guidance as our President. Over the past year, we focused on improving the technology and systems that support the work of the Board. Those updates have made it easier for us to collaborate, coordinate volunteer work, and continue expanding the ways we connect with members and business partners.

As I step into this role, I look forward to building on progress in the year ahead. CFCALA plays an important role in bringing legal administrators together across Central Florida. Many of us work in demanding roles within our firms, and the opportunity to connect with peers who understand those challenges is one of the most valuable aspects of this organization. I encourage our members to stay engaged through our programs, events, and communications so that we can continue learning from and supporting one another. 

At the same time, we will continue strengthening the chapter itself. By maintaining clear processes and building on the work of past boards, we can help ensure that CFCALA remains a strong and sustainable organization for future leaders and members.

Our chapter also benefits greatly from the support of our Business Partners. Their participation and sponsorship allow us to offer meaningful programming and professional resources, and we appreciate the expertise they bring to our community.

I welcome ideas and feedback from our members, business partners, and those who may be considering joining the chapter. If there are ways we can better support you or opportunities we should explore, I encourage you to reach out to myself or any member of our Board. Open communication helps ensure that CFCALA continues to reflect the needs and interests of the professionals it serves.

We look forward to another year of connection, collaboration, and continued growth. Thank you for your ongoing engagement and support of CFCALA. I am honored to serve and work alongside this exceptional community!

Sincerely,

Rebecca Schulte
President 2026-2027
Central Florida Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators (CFCALA)
