ABOUT US – COMMITTEES

Professional Development Committee
This committee was founded in 2000 and has established contact with paralegal programs, colleges, law firms and legal placement agencies to promote the paralegal profession. The committee sends paralegals to area schools, colleges, and paralegal programs to speak about the paralegal profession. The committee also focuses on key issues facing the profession, such as educational opportunities, salary issues, the PACE exam offered by NFPA, and promoting better utilization and development of paralegals. The committee organizes several events throughout the year, including the annual Student Forum and the Joan Weldon Scholarship award.
