Jackson Kelly is happy to announce that Angela Beblo and Lucero Tennis Kieffer will participate in the 2026 Leadership Council on Legal Diversity’s Fellows and Pathfinder Programs.
Beblo will participate in the “Fellows Program,” while Tennis Kieffer was selected for the “Pathfinders Program.”
“Angela and Lucero are valued members of the firm and emerging leaders. We are confident each will gain valuable leadership development and relationship-building opportunities through their respective programs,” says Firm Diversity Committee Chair, Jill Hall.
Lucero Tennis Kieffer is a Member in the Health Care industry group and Business Law practice group, focusing primarily on mergers and acquisitions and health care matters. She practices out of the Firm’s office in Evansville, Indiana.
Angela L. Beblo is a Member in the Litigation and Bankruptcy practice groups. She practices out of the Firm’s office in Charleston, West Virginia.
The Fellows are selected by the general counsel and managing partners at LCLD Member corporations and law firms, practicing attorneys with eight to 15 years of experience, who participate in training sessions and are given opportunities to interact with key legal and business leaders of large U.S. corporations and managing partners from the country’s most prestigious law firms.
The LCLD Fellows Program also provides participants with the chance to learn from other legal leaders and experts in the learning and development field. Since its inception, the program has built a reputation for helping to launch participants into top legal positions.
LCLD Fellows have distinguished themselves within their organizations by being deeply engaged, indispensable to key clients and teams, invested in attorney mentoring and professional development, and on a trajectory toward leadership positions.
Meanwhile, designed as a supplement to training initiatives already in place at LCLD Member corporations and law firms, the Pathfinder Program offers practical tools for developing and leveraging internal professional networks, leadership skills, and an understanding of career development strategies.
In addition to the exclusive leadership and professional development curriculum that is unique to the LCLD Pathfinder Program, participants will have several opportunities throughout the year to meet and interact with their peers, both in person and in a virtual format.
LCLD Pathfinders are selected by the leaders at LCLD Member corporations and law firms and have been identified as early-career emerging leaders who have distinguished—or have the potential to distinguish—themselves within their organizations.
