Maximizing Your Bar Association Membership
Are you getting ready to cut your expenses by canceling your voluntary bar association membership? I think some lawyers are, but others won’t do it because their bar memberships have a terrific return on investment. In this podcast, Erik Mazzone and I discuss some ways to maximize your ROI and build your practice. It’s possible, even easy, to see a great return if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to make it happen. Some benefits of your membership might involve simply researching and signing up for things (think discounted legal research or office supplies). Others may require you to do some leg work (think networking opportunities). If you’re going to pay the dues then go ahead and reap the benefits.
My American Bar Association membership dues statement came in the mail last week. Between my Family Law Section and Law Practice Management section dues I owe $520. Is it worth it? It sure is. I can’t even count the clients that have come to me over the years as a result of my section activities. On top of the referrals, I’ve learned so much from attending CLEs and from talking to other members. On top of all that I went on no less than ten all expense paid trips to Hawaii, Santa Fe, Chicago, San Francisco and other great places because of my membership. Listen in and I’ll explain how it happened.
