Get to know us – Judy Pleiman, more than a bookkeeper
There are several people who work hard behind the scenes to make ELA run smoothly. In these next few blog entries, you will get to know us, perhaps better than you expected or wanted. In the end, you will know exactly who you should ask for when you need something from us!
Once I have introduced your ELA staff, from time to time I will introduce you to active members of ELA, including board members and committee chairs, and others who are working hard to ensure the success of ELA for years to come.
Judy M. Pleiman has been the bookkeeper for the Education Law Association since 1998, and is the person you speak to most often if you call the ELA office. She is an individual with full-charge bookkeeping experience. Judy’s primary responsibilities include a comprehensive understanding of accounting processes and practices, collections experience, inventory control management and member service knowledge. She earned a bachelor’s degree in business financial services from Wright State University in Dayton Ohio.
Judy is the one you talk to regarding the status of book orders, your membership and problems with signing in to the website, and conference registration. She is a true gem and I don’t know what I’d do without her!
She and her husband Vern have been married for 30 years and have 4 children. She is also a great sounding board here in the office, because as the middle child of 4 brothers and 4 sisters, I learned to be the peace keeper. Whenever the weather permits they enjoy riding their bikes, hiking, and camping.
My husband and I look forward to camping with Judy and Vern this summer, and I know my husband looks forward to having a cycling companion!
