	Brian Haberly is a Senior Paralegal in the Corporate and Securities Group of Starbucks Coffee Company in Seattle, Washington. Brian received his undergraduate degree from California State University, Northridge and his Paralegal Certificate (Corporate Specialization, Magna Cum Laude) from the University of West Los Angeles, in an ABA approved program. Brian has been in the legal profession for nearly 25 years, serving in the Corporate Legal departments of several leading public companies such as Expedia, InfoSpace, and Mosaix (now a division of Avaya Communications), and was previously employed with the prominent Seattle law firms of Lane Powell Spears Lubersky and Williams Kastner & Gibbs, and also Irell and Manella and Jones Day Reavis & Pogue in Los Angeles. Brian was profiled in Thomson/West Legal Studies' The Law of Corporations, and Other Business Organizations, 4ed., published in 2007. Brian has been a member of WSPA for approximately 12 years and was co-founder of the East King County Chapter where he served as Steering Committee Chairman and Programs Chair for three years. He is currently serving as WSPA's At-Large West Director and also as Chair of the Positions and Issues Committee. Brian moderated the National Federation of Paralegal Associations (NFPA's) Corporations and Intellectual Property "List Serves" for two years each. Brian is a current member of the National Association of Stock Plan Professionals (NASPP) and has been a past member of the International Trademark Association (INTA). In his spare time, Brian is active with the Starbucks Chapter of Toastmasters International (having founded the Club and served as its first President and then VP of Education) and continues to encourage his fellow partners (employees) to participate and thereby improve their communication and leadership skills. Brian also co-chairs a "Climate Change Task Force" as part of a company club that encourages people to make Sustainable Living choices and to reduce their environmental footprint. Brian shares soccer carpool duties with his wife Peggy and is the proud father of three children (two boys, one girl), all of whom are select soccer players. If he's not at work or at a paralegal meeting, Brian can usually be found on the sidelines of a good soccer match. Brian especially enjoys a great cup of coffee, bad puns, and teenagers that clean up their rooms, but he usually has to settle for only two out of three.
