2. Claim and Update Your LCLD Directory Profile

Claim and update your profile in the Pathfinder Directory to give your class­mates, LCLD, and Alumni of the Pathfinder and Fellows programs the opportunity to learn more about you. In addition, LCLD Alumni use the directory as a resource for seeking advice and referring business. Building your LCLD network starts with building your directory profile. Click here to locate and claim your profile.

Search for your name in the Keyword field, click on your profile, and then click the Claim this Profile button. You will then be emailed additional instructions. After you have claimed your profile, be sure to update it with a photo, all areas in which you practice, and a brief bio. Here's just one example of a well-done profile.

For questions about claiming your profile, visit our help page or contact directory@lcldnet.com.

3. Meet Virtually with Your Peer Circle

Welcome to your new group of best friends! Peer Circles are designed to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and relationship building within a smaller group and will meet throughout your Pathfinder year. We’re asking you to meet virtually with your Peer Circle ahead of the 2021 Pathfinder First Meeting to introduce yourselves, pick a team name (that will outshine all other team names!), and to generally get to know each other. You will receive contact information for all of your Peer Circle members via email in late-March. The deadline to meet with your Peer Circle is Friday, April 30, 2021. For questions, please email Chenoa Forrester, Programs Specialist.
