Lisa Vander Weide, CLAS
Can you believe Spring is already
here? Soon it will be time to pack our bags
and “Return to Reno”.
NALA is hard at work preparing for
another great Convention. By now, you’ve
probably seen the brochure. If not, visit the NALA web site and download
the .pdf version. You don’t want to miss out on a great experience.
Affiliates have their own preparation to do
for our Annual Affiliates Meeting on
July 14, 2004 .
A lot of the information you
need to get started is in this issue of
The Affiliates
Brief so keep reading!
Each affiliate will also
receive a packet of
information in early April. Make sure you read through each piece of
information you receive so you don’t miss an important deadline. The
Sierra Nevada Association of Paralegals and the other associations in
Region IX are busy with their plans to
play hosts to us at the Convention.
Thanks to all of you for your
efforts to make
us feel welcome in Reno. I
also hear the “competition” is getting tougher
at the Affiliates tables for Friday,
July 16. We’ve had tar heel cookies
from North Carolina, buckeyes
from Ohio, Hershey’s Kisses
from Pennsylvania in previous Conventions.
It will be fun to see what our affiliates come up with next. Of
course, this isn’t a requirement for an
Affiliate table.
Before we head off to Reno, our
affiliates will be busy with
seminars, annual
meetings, CLA Review Courses,
and many other projects. If you
are looking for a fresh idea for those
projects, try posting a question on
NALA Net or contact me. I’ll be happy
to share any of the information your
fellow affiliates have shared with me
about their programs.
Please keep those newsletters, phone calls
and e-mails coming. We love hearing
from each and every one of you.
See you in Reno!
