Kathryn Honecker Stephens, Training Vice President

Kathryn led the committee to redesign the League’s training events into virtual programs and advocated for the creation of an On Demand video training library to allow training programs to safely continue during the COVID-19 pandemic. The JLP recognized her efforts in October 2020 with the “Woman of Wonder” award and then in May 2021 with the Mary Harriman JLP Community Leadership Award, which honors a JLP member “who has made a large, long lasting mark on and contribution to the JLP.” As Training VP, she has the opportunity to work with the entire Training Team, which includes the Member Training Committee, Community Leadership Outreach (CLO), and Public Affairs Committee (PAC) chairs, as well as the Provisional Chair and Vice-Chair.

As an attorney at Lewis Brisbois, Kathryn leverages more than 20 years of experience to represent businesses and post-secondary educational institutions in litigation, including class actions.
