Samantha L. Gerlovin - Brown Rudnick Berlack Israels LLP
"I will become a parent for the first time this January, so my New Years resolution is to be a mother who is loving and supportive, flexible yet firm, open-minded while principled. Understanding that juggling priorities is always a delicate balance, I want to be sure to make quality time for my husband and child, for my professional growth at the office, and for myself, after the baby is born."

Mary K. Ryan - Nutter McClennen & Fish LLP
"Nothing sublime.  I want to clean my office so I can stop saying I am more organized than it appears.  Then there’s the perennial goal of finding the right balance between commitments to work, community, family, friends and myself – if anyone else has that figured out, be sure to let me know!"

Mark Ventola - Sheehan, Phinney, Bass + Green, P.A.
"My New Year's resolution is to try my best to maintain a more consistent work - life balance. We work in a demanding profession, we have difficult cases, difficult deals, and sometimes even difficult clients. All of this makes it easy for our lives to quickly go out of balance, based upon just one phone call. I intend to work harder to have a full year feeling that my work - life balance is for the most part consistent."

Lisa M. Cukier - Burns & Levinson LLP
"If only I could experience everything in life without needing to prioritize one desire over the other! For my New Years resolution, I will work to more smartly integrate and calibrate my life goals, my career goals, my family priorities, my community service, and my personal wants and desires."
