Corina I. Colan is an estate planning attorney driven by a passion for helping others and making a positive difference in their lives. Her commitment to service was instilled at an early age growing up in Romania under a repressive communist regime, where she witnessed firsthand the hardships of an oppressive system.

After earning a Bachelor of Science in Forestry Engineering from Transylvania University, Colan began her career as an engineer while simultaneously running her own logo design business. Over 30 years ago, she immigrated to the United States seeking greater freedoms and opportunities.

​

Colan's legal journey began through volunteering at legal clinics and providing pro bono services to those unable to afford representation. She went on to work in-house for a major real estate management company in Los Angeles, starting as a property manager before transitioning to legal roles including senior business analyst and attorney.

Though she valued the business law experience, Colan felt a calling to more directly serve clients and their deeply personal needs. After nearly 22 years with the company, she founded her own firm, the Law Office of Corina I. Colan, to focus on estate planning - an area that allows her to combine her professional expertise with her empathetic nature.

​

Today, Colan is driven by the desire to impart knowledge, peace of mind, and outstanding service to her clients as they plan for their families' long-term well-being. With her diverse background forging resilience and her heart for helping others, she looks forward to learning about each client's unique story and loved ones.

I am a graduate of the University of Southern California and co-owner with my husband of a special makeup effects company.  We moved to Lake Arrowhead in 1994 and all three of our children attended ROWUSD schools K-12.  I have been involved with the PTA at Grandview Elementary, MPH, Rim High School, and Mountain Area Council PTA for the last 21 years served on school site council at these schools and served on several ROWUSD district committees.  I was on the Rim Educational Foundation board for many years, served as an elected board member of the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District, and have been serving as treasurer on the Rim of the World Communities Scholarship Council for the last 11 years.  As part of my ongoing efforts to advocate for our school district and students, I have been elected secretary of the San Bernardino County School Boards Association Executive Committee and elected East Valley Region representative to the San Bernardino County District Advocates for Better Schools (SANDABS), a legislative committee which allows me to bring budget and legislation information back to our district and, in return, I am able to bring our district's issues and concerns to the state and federal levels of government.

My name is Jenny Hueter, and I am the General Manager of the Rim of the World Recreation and Park District. My husband and I have been residents of Lake Arrowhead for over 13 years. We love living here and we want our mountain residents and businesses to continue to thrive.  My job at the park district gives me the opportunity to engage with many members of our community; I am continually amazed by the people that live here. Mountain residents are endlessly adaptive, resilient, and always actively engaged in legislative issues. These interactions have inspired me to educate myself and become more engaged in issues that matter.  I am grateful to be a member of the government affairs committee and I hope that we can make a difference and continue to be a channel of information for our mountain residents.
