Presented by: Tony Sipp, Co-host, The Paralegal Voice podcast; Chair of the Paralegal Studies Advisory Committee, College of the Canyons
Amy McGuigan, ACP, CAS, CEDS, Swanson & McNamara LLP

In an increasingly digital, regulated, and high-demand legal environment, paralegals are asked to show up not only as professionals, but as leaders. This interactive session explores modern leadership principles, ethical accountability, and certification pathways that accelerate career development. Through shared experiences from two paralegal leaders who have built departments, steered organizations, and navigated difficult regulatory landscapes, attendees will learn how to: 

    - Transition from task-doer to decision-maker 
    - Lead teams through change, conflict, and cross-department collaboration 
    - Leverage certifications and specialty credentials to advance professionally 
    - Apply ethics frameworks to real-world scenarios in high-pressure matters 
    - Build a high-performance reputation within your firm or legal community  

    Participants will leave with actionable leadership strategies, tools for compliance and regulation awareness, and a roadmap for elevating the paralegal profession from within.
