The firm also lists her work with the Rhode Island Bar Association Annual Meeting Committee in 1996 and the Supreme Court User Friendly Committee in 1997. Among the other associations recorded in her biography are the Commercial Law League of America, American Bankruptcy Institute and Inns of Court. The District Court Constable Disciplinary Committee appears in that record, too.
