Kathryn D. Henry

Administrative Assistant and Office Manager
Offices of the Executive Chairman

Kathi has worked as an office administrator and legal assistant for nearly twenty years, including with a number of small to mid-sized law firms and in Robert Shelton’s offices for Allcare Health Management Systems, Inc.  In addition to serving as a legal assitant to one or more of the name partners in these firms, Kathi’s varied duties have included human resource management, supervision of up to 20 legal secretaries and staff, maintenance of office systems, computer trouble-shooting and responsibility for facilities management and maintenance.  In addition, she has been responsible for financial management, budgeting and implementing cost recovery systems, as well as client relations and marketing, including coordinating monthly seminars within the firms for whom she was employed, as well as externally through the Orange County Bar Association.

It was because of these varied, high-paced and exceedingly demanding experiences that Kathi was hired to work directly for Robert in May 2002; and since that time she has managed his offices and served as his personal assistant.  Robert has often remarked that he would never have even entertained accepting the role of KS&A Executive Chairman were it not for Kathi’s skills and dedication; and since Robert was elected to this position in September 2003, Kathi has served as the office administrator for KS&A.  In this capactiy, in addition to supporting all of the business, personal and philanthropic activities of the Executive Chairman, Kathi provides back-office support for the Board of Directors, all of KS&A’s Program Coordinators and Program Assistants, and other staff volunteers.  Additionally, Kathi commonly serves as the initial point of contact for incoming callers to KS&A’s toll-free number, where she helps connect these callers with the proper KS&A resources and information to address their specific needs.

At the present time, Kathi is KS&A’s sole paid employee, whose salary is provided as an in-kind donation from Allcare. 

Kathi’s career profile characterizes one of her strengths as being able to establish a quick and warm rapport with people.  As the hundreds of persons with whom she has come into contact over the past 3 years certainly know, her cheerful attitude and professionalism are incomparable.  Kathi received her training in law office management from Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, CA, as well as her training in procedures for legal secretaries from G&P Associates in Los Angeles.

In addition to her work with KS&A, she serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Association of Legal Administrators and Orange County Chapter of the Association.
