The 2026 Association of Legal Administrators Chapter Leadership Institute will bring together chapter officers, board members, and volunteer leaders from more than 60 ALA chapters on July 16–18 in Tempe, AZ. Attendees represent a cross-section of firm operations, including administration, human resources, finance, and C-level management, gathering for three days of leadership development and peer collaboration.
The ALA Chapter Leadership Institute is a key meeting point for the professionals who keep law offices running behind the scenes. As firms manage rising operational demands, technology advancements, and the complexity of modern litigation, the leaders who guide chapter education and firm processes play an increasingly important role in equipping their teams with the tools to strengthen their impact across the profession.
