Path to Well-Being in Law - Episode 24: Kori Carew

<p>CHRIS NEWBOLD:</p> <p>Hello, wellbeing friends. Welcome to the Path To Well-Being In Law Podcast, an initiative of the Institute for Well-Being in Law. As you know, my name is Chris Newbold. I serve as executive vice president of ALPS Malpractice Insurance.

So we're just thrilled to have Jennifer on board.</p> <p>CHRIS:</p> <p>Yeah. See, I had the privilege of serving with you Bree on the hiring committee. Boy, we have a dynamic leader now that will be working day-to-day t
