LegalSpan, Inc., in association with CLE Options, is pleased to announce the addition of Karen Lodoen to our growing staff. As Regional Sales Manager for the Western U.S., Karen will be a liaison for existing affiliates and will help them get the most from their association with LegalSpan, Inc.

“Karen’s experience in building online communities as well as her experience in creating content will be a great advantage for our affiliates,” says John Davis, President of LegalSpan, Inc. “Her wealth of knowledge in how to build, implement and promote an online system is going to assist organizations greatly in their efforts.

"Karen has all the tools necessary for success as a problem solving sales person,” says Jim Carder, Director of Sales & Marketing for CLE Options. “It is our intention to build relationships with affiliates to answer all needs for
CLE, no matter how they are defined. Karen is a very important part of this plan!"

Karen’s experience includes training program development – both live and computer-based; video production and editing -- including directing live satellite broadcasts; and marketing, publicity and publications. She was most recently with the State Bar of Arizona and built the online CLE program from the ground up. Her prior experience includes judicial education program development for the Arizona Supreme Court and computer based training program development for AG Communication Systems, a subsidiary of Lucent Technologies. Karen is an award-winning producer and director and an active member in the Media Communications Association, an international professional video association.

“I’m delighted to join the team and am excited to get to know all the affiliates personally. I look forward to sharing my knowledge and plan to start doing so with a new, monthly affiliate newsletter with tips, system enhancements, marketing strategies, and highlights of new seminars. We would also like to announce a new affiliate e-mail listserv, where affiliates can communicate and exchange ideas. Complete instructions to access this list will be announced in my first newsletter in early September. In the meantime, I’d like to hear from our affiliates with ideas, needs and suggestions. Feel free to contact me at any time: 480.497.8803 or Karen@LegalSpan.com.”
