About Gracie Howes

As Chief Operating Officer at PILMMA (Personal Injury Lawyers Marketing & Management Association), I lead the strategy, operations, and execution that keep our organization moving forward. I work directly alongside our founder to drive growth, scale our programs, and ensure everything we build delivers real results for the law firms we serve.I oversee our core business lines—including memberships, national events, and our mastermind programs—helping attorneys access the marketing, management, and operational strategies they need to grow their firms and create the lives they actually want.My role sits at the intersection of leadership and execution: aligning teams, optimizing systems, and turning big ideas into reality across the organization.Before stepping into legal marketing and business strategy, I spent seven years as a high school English teacher in Durham Public Schools, serving as Department Chair and mentor to new educators. That foundation in communication, coaching, and making complex ideas accessible still shapes how I lead today.At PILMMA, I get to do what I love most—solve problems, build teams, and help leaders scale with clarity and confidence.#OperationsLeadership #COO #LegalMarketing #LawFirmGrowth #Mastermind #BusinessOperations #Leadership #PILMMA
