On October 26, 2018, fellow board member, Alison Rizzo, and I represented the NJALA as a vendor at the New Jersey Paralegal Convention. The Convention was an all-day affair for experienced, career paralegals, paralegal students and those seeking continuing legal education to enhance their skills, network with fellow paralegals and explore services designed for the legal profession. This outing was an excellent opportunity for the NJALA to increase our visibility, and promote and market our organization’s services to paralegal managers. The New Jersey Paralegal Convention Committee put together a wonderful event and were more than accommodating to us. We sincerely appreciate it and were glad to partner with them.
In addition to the tremendous joy of meeting everyone, we spoke with several prospective members who were excited to find out more about our organization. Some of them are new managers (like all of us were at one time) who need help, resources and guidance to better themselves in their jobs. We look forward to having them join our NJALA family.
We even ran into several of our NJALA business partners at this event! We already know we have wonderful business partners, but, after being a vendor for a day, we gained newfound respect and admiration for them. They all make a long and tiring day look easy! Kudos to our business partners!
At the end of the Convention, Alison and I walked away feeling accomplished, as we met endearing people who were genuinely happy to hear about our organization. We will be looking for volunteers next year so others may have the opportunity to see what all the hype is about.
