NALA SELECTS 2011 CONVENTION SITE - OMAHA, NE
NePA is pleased to announce that NALA has chosen Omaha, Nebraska, as the location of the 2011 NALA National Convention!!! The Convention will be held at the Hilton across from the Qwest Center on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 through Saturday, July 30, 2011.
This is a very exciting opportunity for NePA’s members to experience a national Convention!!! Over the next year, there will be many opportunities presented to NePA’s members to help participate at the convention and it will be an excellent way to reach out to other paralegals in Nebraska regarding the benefits of NALA and NePA membership.
Please keep in mind that Convention fees are discounted for NALA members, so if you are not a NALA member, now is an excellent time to join!!!
There will also be opportunities for many of the area vendors to participate with sponsorship, as well as opportunities for us to work closely with our paralegal friends in sister organizations of the surrounding states. Along those lines, there is an Exhibit Hall which is open for each attendee to learn about the products and services which are available to make our jobs easier. The other really exciting benefit of Convention is the opportunity to visit the Association Exhibit Booths and find out what other Associations are doing, including the opportunity to view their newsletters.
NePA appreciates this honor and wishes to thank NALA and NALA’s Board of Directors for this exciting opportunity. Nebraska currently has two members on the NALA Board of Directors. Ann Atkinson is currently 2nd Vice President and Janie Boswell is District 6 Director. Linda Hess is also a past NALA Board of Director’s member and current Ex Officio Chair of the Certifying Board.
NePA is very proud of all of our NALA and NePA members and hope you will each plan to attend the 2011 NALA National Convention in Omaha, Nebraska!!! See you there!!!
