ACC Focus on the New Jersey Chapter - May 2012  (Plain Text Version)

2012 NJCCA Membership Drive is in Full Swing!

Gail Girard

If you're reading this you are already aware of the benefits.  Now share them with a colleague.

Dear NJCCA Members:

NJCCA’s membership is at an all-time high and continues to grow.  We recently launched a membership drive and would like to actively engage your assistance and support in making it a success.  Growing our numbers benefits us all in several respects. First, with more members we increase our networking opportunities.  Second, our advocacy efforts on behalf of the corporate community can become even more effective.  Third, with increased membership, we can attract additional volunteers to put on even more programs and events.

If you know any in-house attorney who is not a member of ACC and NJCCA but who is practicing or living in the State of New Jersey, please speak to them about the benefits of membership.  As you know, members of ACC and NJCCA have access to:

1) Legal Resources – ACC maintains a virtual library and publishes InfoPaks and a monthly magazine, the ACC Docket.  NJCCA publishes a monthly on-line newsletter that always contains an article of substantive legal interest, and offers a number of other on-line resources at its web site, as well.

2) Educational Programs – ACC and NJCCA provide a broad variety of on-line and in-person programs, including NJCCA’s highly popular Annual All-Day CLE Conference which offers up to 8.5 CLE credits to attendees.

3) Networking Opportunities – NJCCA hosts a number of networking opportunities throughout the year, including a Spring Cocktail Reception, a Golf/Tennis/Spa Outing, an Annual Conference, and an Annual Dinner.  Additionally, members have access to ACC’s committees, blogs and member-to-member directory, and NJCCA’s LinkedIn group.

4) Job Listings – ACC and NJCCA regularly advertise job listings.

Eligible persons can register today on-line or by mail by going to the membership page of the ACC website.  Note that by joining ACC, a person may automatically choose to become an NJCCA member at no extra cost.

If you or a prospective member has questions about the eligibility requirements or the benefits of membership, please feel free to call me on 609-312-7772 or by email at NJCCA@comcast.net.
