Blue Bell, Pa.April 2, 2026 – Ostroff Godshall announced that Executive Director Marina Bradley and Director of Finance Carol Jewell have been elected to leadership positions with the Independence Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators for the 2026-27 term. Bradley will serve as second vice president, and Jewell will serve as treasurer.
Their appointments coincide with another milestone for the chapter. The Association of Legal Administrators recently recognized the Independence Chapter with its 2026 Chapter of Distinction Award, which honors chapters that go above and beyond to embody and promote the association’s vision, mission and strategic direction while making a meaningful impact on members and the legal community.
The chapter’s 2026-27 board also includes President Megan Marnie, President-Elect Diane Burkhardt, First Vice President Sarah O’Steen and Secretary Emily Bushnell. The officers were installed March 31 during the chapter’s annual “Changing of the Guard” event in Conshohocken.
“Marina and Carol are both deeply committed professionals who lead with thoughtfulness, discipline and integrity,” said Richard Godshall, owner and managing partner of Ostroff Godshall. “Their election reflects the respect they have earned within the legal management community, and we are proud to see them take on these important leadership roles with the Independence Chapter.”
Bradley said she is honored to join the board at a time of strong momentum for the chapter.
“The Chapter of Distinction recognition speaks to the dedication of the chapter’s leadership and membership,” Bradley said. “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and to help support the chapter’s continued focus on education, connection and professional growth.”
Jewell said the chapter plays an important role in supporting legal administrators throughout the region.
“It is an honor to serve in this capacity and to contribute to an organization that brings legal management professionals together in meaningful ways,” Jewell said.
The March 31 event also featured a presentation on mental wellness by Kate MacArdle, legal support administrator at Troutman Pepper, certified mental health first aider and advocate. The chapter also collected donations in support of the Pennsylvania SPCA as part of the evening’s program.
