“ Our CEO often says we become reflections of our mentors and the places we’ ve worked in the past,” she says.“ At each of the three stops in my career, I’ ve had several mentors who were smart, creative, honest and kind.”
Alsop describes herself as someone who is willing to help others accomplish their goals.
“ I take a lot of pride in seeing younger lawyers who I’ ve worked with over the years excel in their roles,” she says.“ I would like to think my work in growing and leading our legal team at WVU Health System has helped develop a highly respected group of health care experts who have an impact on the legal industry through their work on a daily basis. This group of highly qualified attorneys includes leading experts on various areas of health care law who shape the law in our state through their work in litigation, advising our hospitals and physicians and providing their expertise to our associations and lawmakers.”
Alsop says her greatest professional accomplishment is helping grow and develop WVU Health System into the 25-hospital integrated health care delivery system it is today.
“ I want to see our state succeed, and as the largest health system in the state, we take our role as the largest employer and commitment to provide high quality health care close to home across all our regions very seriously,” she says.“ We also have a leadership team that is agile and willing to try new things to accomplish our goals, which helps inspire me to develop new and more efficient ways for our legal team to support the organization.”
Whether it’ s time, expertise or resources, Alsop makes an effort to give back. She’ s always willing to help nonprofits with their corporate documents and updating their bylaws, and she recently helped an organization negotiate a new lease to relocate to a larger location.
“ From the time I started working as an attorney, I wanted to be involved with different organizations and do things to help give back,” Alsop says.“ In the early 2000s, I helped lead a Girl Scout troop at Piedmont Elementary with two other attorneys in Charleston. Having the ability to provide that experience for young girls was very rewarding.”
Alsop has served on the board of directors for several organizations, including Schoenbaum Center, Children’ s Therapy Clinic, West Virginia Bar Association, University of Charleston, American Inns of Court, Priscilla Circle at Christ Church United Methodist Church, Suncrest Childcare and Early Learning Center, United Way of Monongalia and Preston Counties and
The Education Alliance. She also is active in the lives of her three daughters, volunteering for their Girl Scout troops, softball leagues and parent-teacher associations.
“ I recognize how fortunate I am and know there are so many who could use help,” she says.“ Throughout my childhood, I was lucky enough to have people willing to help me. Without those opportunities, I may not have ended up where I am today.”
Alsop and her husband chose to return to West Virginia after being in New York City and have stayed to raise their three daughters closer to family.
“ The university has played a large part in my education and career,” she says.“ We enjoy having the opportunity to live in Morgantown and having access to all the resources and entertainment events available in our college town.” •
