Bodman PLC is pleased to share that Jenni Clark and Stephanie Rutkowski have been honored as members of Michigan Lawyers Weekly’s “Unsung Heroes” Class of 2025.
According to Lawyers Weekly, “Unsung Heroes” honorees have consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty, often behind the scenes. This award is reserved for the state’s most talented and dedicated legal support professionals, from firm administrators to legal marketing to paralegals.
Clark is the senior event planning and marketing specialist at Bodman PLC. She oversees all internal and external events hosted by Bodman and its Members. Clark has planned some of the Firm’s largest and most complex events. Over the past year she has completed, or has in the planning stages, a total of nearly 70 events. She has coordinates events from concept through completion at venues ranging from coast to coast – this past year’s events include a tailgate before the Michigan – USC football game in Los Angeles and other client events in Dallas, Northern California, Seattle, New York and Boston.
In her spare time, Clark is an avid theater enjoyer, volunteering and performing for Shakespeare Royal Oak, Michigan’s premier outdoor Shakespeare festival with the area’s best professional and emerging professional artists, in a one-of-a-kind outdoor summer setting.
Rutkowski is Bodman PLC’s Troy office manager and the Enterprise Procurement Group (EPG) operations manager. Stephanie has worked at Bodman for over 17 years. As office manager she oversees the day-to-day administrative operations of the Troy office and as EPG operations manager she serves as the billing liaison, tracks and monitors incoming client matters and contract approvals, and manages the group’s support personnel.
One of the key projects Stephanie completed over this past year was the complete remodeling of the Troy office reception and conference area to a more open and inviting space, along with upgraded conference rooms, a refreshed elevator lobby, and the addition of a new kitchen and coffee corner.
