A Celebration of Life - Lucile Brink, ALA President 1987- 1988
Past ALA President from 1987 - 1988, Lucile Brink of Vermont passed away on January 25, 2025.
"My goal as ALA President was to develop more substantive activities and programs to augment the social programs provided by the ABA for spouses. Believing that friendships can be made working together for a common purpose as well as through social activities, I hoped that ALA would be recognized by the ABA as a valuable and supporting auxiliary. The ALA became an “ABA Related Organization” with an office in the new ABA Headquarters at 750 North Lake Shore Drive. The fall board meeting was held in Minneapolis in conjunction with the Minnesota State Auxiliary so this gave the national organization better exposure locally. The Midyear Meeting was held in Philadelphia where we had two workshops (Law Day and Advocacy for the Disabled). We also met in Chicago and Toronto (Annual Meeting). A By-Laws Committee was established to work on by-laws that would be adequate for the 21st century."
