Meet the Board: Jessica Mulder

For the next couple of weeks, we'll be introducing (or re-introducing) the members of the OBCLAA's 2012-2013 Board. We're hoping that this will give you some insight into who's leading the OBCLAA and where we hope to take the Association over the next year. As always, if one of these bios gives you an idea for how YOU can get involved, don't hesitate to post a reply or contact individual Board members. Enjoy!

Today we'll be meeting Jessica Mulder, our Paralegal Liaison and one of the new additions to the Board. Welcome, Jessica!

Jessica is a third generation Connecticut resident and is a home school graduate.  Passionate about singing, travel and volunteering with children, she also enjoys photography and being involved in missions.  She operated Mulder Home Services, organizing homes and offices, for seven years.  Jessica also worked as an administrative assistant from 2001 to 2007 at a church and private school.  She earned her undergrad from Excelsior College (Albany, NY) in 2006, graduating cum laud with a General Business degree.

Jessica’s life-long fascination with law and justice led her to change direction and get involved in the legal field.  In 2007 she enrolled in Oak Brook College of Law and Government Policy to take its intense one year paralegal program.  The effective and thorough training enabled her to sit for and pass the national Certified Legal Assistant exam in 2008.  Jessica was hired in 2009 by Perlstein, Sandler & McCracken, LLC as the paralegal to the senior partner.  This Farmington, CT based firm services the legal needs of over 350 condominium and homeowner associations throughout the state.  Among other duties, Jessica assists in preparing governing documents for associations, performs legal research pertaining to association governance, maintenance and finances, and reviews service contracts.
