Information and Updates from the WAELA Board of Directors
LIZ WALLACE - PRINCIPAL OF AGILE ELDER LAW AND WAELA BOARD DIRECTOR:
We are very sad to share the news of the passing of our colleague, Liz Wallace. Liz was the principal of Agile Elder Law, with offices in Spokane and Kennewick, a valued member of the Elder Law bar and WAELA, and a WAELA board member. Liz was particularly well versed in Medicaid law and long term care planning, and was generous in sharing her time and expertise. Our hearts go out to her wife, Wrane, her family, and the many clients whose lives she made better. She will be missed.

For additional information please contact Liz’s office manager, Malia Bento.

We hope that you had the opportunity to join the WAELA Fall Bootcamp, CLE and Advanced CLE, held on October 14 and 15, 2021. Evaluations of the sessions have been positive, both with regards to the selection of topics and value of the information shared by the speakers. If you have not yet filled out the evaluation please do so so that we can report your CLE credits. You will find the program hub here.
2022 UNPROGRAM - SAVE THE DATE!

Fall in the northwest is here, with golden leaves falling and return of the rain and cool weather. We hope you are safe and healthy and your practice is thriving. Please contact WAELA if we can be of assistance to you.
