About Kathryn Brooks

I am passionate about building relationships with internal and external clients. Getting to know the \"why\" is the core motivation for everything I do. Upon my graduation from Miami, I joined the Ohio State Bar Association as a marketing specialist where I led the organization\'s advertising, ran social media, and served as a project manager for various events, programs, and continued education sessions. In July of 2023, I transitioned into a new role where I lead the paralegal and attorney certification programs throughout Ohio and manage the Ohio Bar\'s member benefits. I retained my role as head of advertising sales and took on exhibitor and sponsorship sales. Behind the scenes at the Bar, I co-chair our employee relations group, the Bar Boosters.
