Oct. 29, 2009 - PRLog -- MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Women in eDiscovery, a non-profit organization that brings together businesswomen interested in technology related to the legal industry, announced today the names of new chapter directors and that it is proudly approaching the 4,000 member mark. The organization held its first meeting with 30 women in attendance in 2007. In a short period of time, Women in eDiscovery has achieved global reach and nearly 4,000 members. The organization provides members with opportunities to help each other grow personally and professionally through leadership, education, networking support, and national recognition.

Women in eDiscovery has 28 chapters across three countries. The organization’s members comprise women from all walks of life, including general counsel, secretaries, law firm partners, associates, chief operating officers, paralegals, litigation support and e-discovery professionals.

We cannot say thank you enough to all of our directors and members for their continued hard work and dedication to this organization. We are thrilled to see everyone’s hard work pay off by being able to increase membership and chapters for the organization as a whole. Without strong, dedicated women, this organization would not thrive as it does.”
