Results from the previous scan showed an overwhelming
response with the fact that local chapters need to market the
training programs of NALS to local bar associations, technical
colleges and even go into high schools, too. Thank you for all your
opinions and suggestions. NALS values your ideas.
In March 2008, the NALS Board of Directors adopted a resolution
whereby NALS will be proactive with the generational needs of legal
support professionals. Please share this environmental scan
with your co-workers and friends employed in the legal field. The
industry is always evolving and changing; including use of new
technology, commitment to our career; the need to stay on top of
our skill levels, etc.
