Cheryl Evans - President
Cheryl Evans, President After 20 years working in law firms on litigation and appellate cases, Cheryl started her own company, determined to help the legal community move forward with technology. In 1992, she founded Evans Training & Consulting. In 2001, the business was incorporated as ETC Enterprises, Inc.
In 1989, while working as a paralegal at a Phoenix law firm, Cheryl wrote what some believe was the first user-friendly book for legal professionals teaching them how to use technology in their practice. Since then, she co-authored two additional books and has also authored numerous articles for publications such as Law Office Computing, Legal Assistant Today, and Arizona State Bar Association member newsletters, among others.
Cheryl combined her writing skills and her extensive technical knowledge when she was retained by Summation to author their Quick Start Guide and a massive help file for Summation's iBlaze product line. Law Office Computing lauded these materials in a review of the iBlaze product (April/May 2001): "iBlaze comes with a wealth of well-written support materials in booklets, internal help files, and online...." She also recently assisted inData with some of their Trial Director 5.0 documentation.
As a result of her years of standing in front of classrooms of attorneys and paralegals, Cheryl is frequently invited to speak at conferences and workshops. She has also appeared on Oprah and on a local TV community events program discussing her volunteer work as a CASA. (CASA always needs volunteers!) Read more about Cheryl's background.
The Star Flyer - Greece - June 2006
On a personal note:
Family: Cheryl is a single mother whose daughter inherited her belief that your career should be your passion. Megan graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in recreation management. Megan spends her days leading visitors and adventurers as they bike, hike, rock-climb, raft, and kayak their way through our beautiful Arizona environment. You can read more about Megan's business at www.lostandfoundadventures.com. Come to Arizona for an adventure in software training then book another kind of adventure with Desert Voyagers, one of the companies Megan works with. Megan recently convinced her mom to go on an exciting Hummer tour with Desert Storm Hummer Tours. Wow!!
Travel: As if she didn't travel enough for Evans Training & Consulting, Cheryl has committed to taking at least one international trip a year for pure pleasure. She's toured Switzerland, Costa Rica, Amsterdam and her favorite was a two week visit to Greece, during which she sailed on a 4-masted sailing ship. In 2007, New Zealand competed with Greece as a favorite world destination. Cheryl and a friend rented a car and drove around New Zealand for a bit over two weeks. While her favorite was the South Island, where she almost worked up the nerve to do some paragliding, the North Island held its fascinations as well, including the Maori and several wine tasting sessions. Cheryl thinks she'll save her 2008 trip for next year (2009) when it's off for a sailing and hiking adventure to the Galapagos Islands!
