STAFF SPOTLIGHT: MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR
AMY
SCHLOSSBERG
Amy Schlossberg assumed the Atlanta Bar Member-
ship Director position this past July, but working
alongside lawyers and law firms is not a new role
for her. As the former program director of one of
the Atlanta Bar Association’s community partners,
Everybody Wins! Atlanta children’s literacy and
mentoring program, Amy has worked with the
legal community for years managing volunteers
and directing the reading program in local pub-
lic elementary schools. Hundreds of the reading
volunteers were lawyers who came from local law
firms and corporations around metro Atlanta. “I
am pleased that many of the relationships I’ve
forged with lawyers over the last several years will
continue in my position at the Atlanta Bar. My
goal is to serve the Association’s members well,
and I look forward to working with many of them
personally”, stated Amy.
Amy’s career first began as a Social Services Spe-
cialist for the State of Michigan in the capacity of
Foster Care and Children’s Protective Services.
After moving to Georgia, she began her work with
Everybody Wins! Atlanta where she remained for
six years. “I know firsthand the energy, talent and
professionalism that Amy applies to her work and
can think of no better person to serve in the newly
expanded role of Membership Director here at
the Bar”, stated Executive Director Terri Bryant.
In her free time, Amy enjoys spending time with
her husband and dog, hiking, watching movies
and Michigan State football, reading, and cooking.
