The Northwest Ohio Chapter was chartered on September 21, 1976 and is part of Region 3 of the Association of Legal Administrators. Region 3 consists of 18 chapters located in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin.

The Northwest Ohio Chapter meets the second Wednesday of every month at luncheon meetings with speaker presentations on topics relevant to law firm administration. The Chapter takes a summer break for one month in August and a winter break for one month in January of each year.

The Northwest Ohio Chapter believes in giving back to the community. One such event we participate in is the March of Dimes Chefs Event. Each year Chapter Members and Business Partners come together to run the check in / check out process for this event. This is the March of Dimes second largest fundraising event in Toledo each year.

The Northwest Ohio Chapter endorses the mission statement of the Association of Legal Administrators:

• ALA is the undisputed leader for the business of law, focused on the delivery of cutting-edge management and leadership products and services to the global legal community.
• We identify and provide solutions to the most strategic and operational challenges our members and customers face today, while we prepare them for the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow.
