Membership
NALS was formed in 1929 and was incorporated in 1949 and has been dedicated to members of the legal community ever since. By providing exceptional education opportunities and networking arenas, NALS has continued to be THE association for legal professionals. Whether you are a legal secretary in a local small firm or a senior paralegal in a global firm NALS will offer you opportunities to grow your career. NALS offers sessions and conferences nationwide providing expert education and professional development opportunities.
Along with the education and professional development opportunities NALS members become part of the family. Members build life-long friendships with colleagues from around the country and use these friendships to build both professional and personal relationships. By attending NALS conferences you will be able to interact with members from all types of backgrounds so you can use the diversity of NALS to increase your knowledge and broaden your perspective on ways to do your job and build your career.
While tangible benefits are always great NALS offers you the opportunity to belong to the oldest association for legal support professionals and is the only association that is all-inclusive, giving you a home whether you stay on your current path or branch out into a new opportunity in the field. We feel that by including legal secretaries, paralegals, and legal assistants we can offer a broad perspective on the industry and allow everyone to learn from one another and build their personal networks across all levels.
If you have any questions regarding NALS please contact us and feel free to discuss what we can offer you and your career!
YOU CAN GET YOUR NATIONAL DUES WAIVED!!
NALS members that sign up five NEW members within
a 12 month period, beginning November 1st, will get their national
dues waived for the year (this excludes state and local dues). The
five new memberships must be in the same category of membership as
the waived member, for example if you are a regular member who pays
$98 national dues then you must sign up five new members in that same
category. The new members must report you as their sponsor when they
submit their application to NALS and you
must fill out the waiver that COMES IN your renewal notice when
your Dues are due. On the waiver form you will indicate all five NEW
members by name that you sponsored and submit it back to NALS. As long
as everything matches up and all five new members have been acquired
within a 12 month period then your national dues will be waived for
the year and you will only be required to pay your state and local
dues along with submitting the completed waiver form. The five individuals
you list must again be in your same category of membership and they
must have listed you on their application as their sponsor. This
Campaign is Underway!
Then Pay It Forward, tell the five members you signed up that
they too can get the following year’s dues waived if they sign up five
new members. Let’s get excited about our association and share it with
others that can benefit as well!
