Ann Johnson is retiring after working approximately 38 years in the Indianapolis legal community. The firm celebrated Ms. Johnson’s retirement with a reception at The Columbia Club on July 1, 2010. Ms. Johnson first began as a legal secretary at the Indianapolis law firm of Ice Miller LLP (formerly Ice, Miller, Donadio and Ryan). From there, she worked her way to becoming a paralegal and eventually the firm’s Human Resources Manager over her 14 year tenure at the firm. Thereafter, Ms. Johnson served 14 years as the Director of Administration at Locke Reynolds (now Frost Brown Todd).

Woodard, Emhardt, Moriarty, McNett & Henry LLP was fortunate to have Ms. Johnson join as Director of Administration beginning in 2000, and she has served in this capacity until her retirement today after a long and distinguished career.

During her time in the Indianapolis legal community, Ms. Johnson was active in the Indiana Association of Legal Administrators, was an associate member of the American Bar Association, and was involved with the Indianapolis Bar Association in matters related to law firm management.

We wish Ann well in her retirement and hope that she stays in touch. We know she is looking forward to spending more time with her family and beginning to work as an author in whatever free time she may have.
