Board Position Opening

Renee May has let us know that she is going to have to step down as our Chair Elect. Her career has taken a different path, and unfortunately, that path leads away from us.

I want to first of all say how much I appreciate all Renee has done for this Section. Her hard work and dedication over the past few years has made this Section a success. When I took over the Chairperson position in February, Renee was there for me every step of the way. It was a breeze to step into the position, due both to her assistance and the fact it was a smooth running operation already. Please join me in thanking Renee and wishing her the best in her new career.

So, now we need to fill this position. The responsibilities are not complicated and would require very little of your time.

I took the position of Chairperson because I felt a need to give back to our profession and keep the Section alive. In these tough economic times, I have noticed a decline in continuing education opportunities for Paralegals and feel it is important - more now than ever - to make sure we keep this going and serve the needs and interests of our fellow professionals.

Please give this opportunity some consideration.

If you are interested, please contact either Erin O'Rourke or me as soon as possible and we can give you more details.
