President's Message

September is a big month for the NJCCA because it heralds the return of our flagship event, the Annual All Day CLE Conference.  This year’s conference, our 9th, will be held on Friday, September 23 at the Hanover Marriott on Route 10 East in Whippany, and promises to be the best yet.  You can review the program contents in this Newsletter, and I trust that you will find multiple presentations of interest.  It’s not too late to register, and we hope that you will.  NJCCA remains the only professional association devoted exclusively to serving the needs of the New Jersey in-house legal community, through programs such as the Annual All Day CLE Conference and other programs and events held throughout the year.  I want to thank in advance the many NJCCA members and outside sponsors who worked tirelessly over the past year to put together this conference.  I look forward to seeing you on September 23!

We are always interested in welcoming anyone interested in taking on a leadership role with the NJCCA.  If you would like to become involved in any capacity, please do not hesitate to contact me at (201) 272-5308 or at joseph.aronds@hartzmountain.com  Becoming actively involved with the NJCCA is one of the smartest career moves I ever made and I hope that you will give it some thought.  I’d love to meet over lunch or coffee sometime if you’d like to chat.  I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Finally, for those of you interested in learning how social media can help with networking and bridging the gap between full-time jobs, we are offering a Social Media Workshop on September 14 at the Vine Restaurant in Basking Ridge.  Details can be found under the Upcoming Events tab in this month’s Newsletter.  Thank you to Update Legal for generously sponsoring this event, which is being offered for free to NJCCA members.

Best regards and now on to the All Day Conference!

Joe Aronds,
President
