Kelly Lynn Anders (JD '96) Receives 2024 Women Executives Kansas City Award

Pepperdine Caruso Law alumna Kelly Lynn Anders (JD '96) is among 12 local women who received the 2024 Women Executives Kansas City Award from Ingram's, Kansas City's business magazine.  The honor recognizes women in the Kansas City area for their "leadership, accomplishments, dedication to inspiring others, and contributions to their organizations." Anders serves as the deputy director of the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum.

Excerpt from Ingram's:

For a newly minted law school graduate, this constitutes a true epiphany: “I quickly realized something important: I don’t like to argue, which most successful lawyers do all the time,” says Kelly Anders, now deputy director of the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum in Independence. But that legal education wasn’t wasted: “Fortunately, I found my place in the law through working as a research assistant to the director of the law library” at Pepperdine University. “I discovered that I could be a lawyer and teacher without having to argue or take a side. This led to a career in legal education and law librarianship.”
