Nancy Boles, President MAY PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Dear Kern County Paralegal Association Members: Every month you attend a luncheon meeting where you earn one hour of MCLE and we ask you to make a donation to one of our community affairs beneficiaries. We ask you to participate in Teen Court or volunteer at Career Day. We ask you to help out at the holiday luncheon. We always ask you for something…. How about it if you, the members, ask KCPA to do something for you? KCPA is a nonprofit, mutual benefit corporation, meaning that the organization has been formed for the benefit of its members. What benefits do you, as members of KCPA, want to derive from your membership? One of the benefits members currently have is a 25% discount on CEB products. Another is the lunch hour MCLE. We send you a newsletter to keep you abreast of Association happenings. You receive a directory listing all of the contact information for members. Some suggestions for member benefits are: * Additional MCLE * Scholarships/Grants * Coordinate transportation to out-of-town paralegal functions What do you want from KCPA? Your board of directors would like to hear from you, our members. One of the benefits for our members is the awarding of a one-time grant of $250.00 to help a qualified KCPA member defray costs of attendance at one or more MCLE events for the 2008-2009 term. The application for the grant is included with this newsletter. It is also on our website. The deadline to apply is May 30 – don’t let an opportunity like this pass you by! Contact any board member with any suggestions you may have of things that the organization can do for you and your fellow paralegals. Our e-mail addresses are listed in the newsletter, or you can contact us through the links on the website. We welcome (and want) input from our members, and hope to hear from you. Sincerely, Your Kern County Paralegal Association Board of Directors
