Join us in March for a discussion with Jomarie Fredericks, Deputy General Counsel at Rotary International and the 2023 President of the International Trademarks Association.  We’ll speak to her both about her role overseeing the global protection of all of Rotary’s intellectual property, and in leading a global professional organization, including the challenges of being in-house counsel for an organization that includes all types of attorneys, and planning an annual meeting on the other side of the world.  You can read INTA’s announcement of her election here:  https://www.inta.org/news-and-press/press-releases/inta-elects-jomarie-fredericks-as-2023-president/  Ms. Fredericks was in private practice in Chicago, Illinois before joining Rotary in 1995, and in addition to her J.D. from IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law Ms. Fredericks holds an LL.M. in Intellectual Property from the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law (then the John Marshall Law School), where she now serves on its Advisory Board.  You can also learn what Rotarians do – and it’s not collect vintage telephones or design traffic-calming circles!
