NALA informational meeting April 24th

There has been some interest in forming a mid-Michigan affiliate to the National Association of Legal Assistants/Paralegals (NALA). If you are interested in finding out about forming and/or joining a local paralegal association, please feel free to come to an informational meeting to be held: When: April 24, 2013 Time: 5:30 pm Where: Foster, Swift, Collins & Smith PC, 313 S. Washington Square, Lansing, MI NALA is the leading paralegal association in the US. Its mission is to provide continuing education and professional development programs to all paralegals. NALA provides current information about the profession, continuing education materials and seminars, networking opportunities, professional certification programs, occupational survey findings and manuals to help paralegals excel in the workplace. NALA is a non-profit organization, representing over 18,000 paralegals, who are individual members or members of NALA affiliated associations. The structure of NALA permits the affiliation of organizations whose objects, aims, constitutions and bylaws are in harmony with the objects and aims of NALA. Through affiliating with NALA, state and local organizations receive the support and assistance of NALA in advancing the paralegal career within their geographic areas. Affiliated associations are provided a voice in the management of NALA through their election of a member of the NALA Board of Directors. Affiliated associations are also offered a voice in developing policies and positions of NALA not only through their representative on the NALA Board of Directors but through the annual meeting of NALA affiliated associations held during the national convention in July. NALA affiliated associations may present resolutions to the NALA membership for consideration during the annual membership meeting. Resolutions are adopted by the voting membership of NALA. Affiliates are represented in this body through their own NALA liaison and any other members who may also be voting members of NALA. The April 24th meeting is for informational purposes only and your attendance at this meeting does not commit you to joining an association or assisting with the formation of an association. Please feel free to forward this on to any other paralegals or paralegal students you think might be interested (they do NOT need to be NALA members or NALA certified).
