"In a significant policy shift for the organization, CLOC is formally adding legal technology and service providers to its board for the first time, alongside in-house legal operations professionals. The move reflects what the organization calls a commitment to bringing "all stakeholders to the table" to drive industry transformation. "This leadership lineup underscores our commitment to representing a broad range of perspectives across industries, regions and experiences, and to advancing the practice of legal operations on a truly global scale," said Oyango Snell, CLOC's executive director, in an announcement."
"Along with the board expansion, CLOC is modernizing its governance structure by introducing two new roles, board chair and chair-elect, and transitioning to an entirely volunteer board. The organization is also reconstituting the position of executive director as president and CEO to align with association best practices and support its 6,500 global members. "In the AI era, shaping the future of legal operations requires our collective ingenuity," said Áine Lyons, CLOC president and SVP and deputy general counsel at Workday. "These governance updates go beyond expanding our board; they are a fundamental realignment for impact.""
