All members of the Legal Assistant Division should mark their calendars for Friday, June 8th for the LAD Annual Meeting and Seminar. In addition to a great lineup of CLE topics and speakers, members will be able to participate in the LAD Annual Meeting and voting for new Directors. At the Annual Meeting, members will get the opportunity to meet their new Chair, Deborah Calegory, and to volunteer for committee assignments. We hope to involve many more of our members in the operation of the LAD this coming year.

The Annual Meeting and Seminar is also a great opportunity to complete the yearly 10 hours of CLE requirement. The Seminar agenda includes 6 hours of CLE, including one hour of ethics credit. The cost of the Seminar will be $65 for LAD members and $75 for non-LAD members. Registration forms will be mailed in mid-May for this important, once-yearly event. Hope to see you there!

We have received many responses to our 2001 LAD Salary and Utilization Survey and the results will be informative. Thanks to all those legal assistants who took the time to complete the Survey. After the results are tallied, a report on the Survey will be published in the June/July issue of the Bar Journal. The information will help further the career goals of legal assistants, and will provide updated, comparative salary and utilization information for attorneys and others who employ legal assistants.
