I’ve been reflecting on the past 12 months and have found myself asking what goals did I meet this year and what goals do I want to carry forward into 2012?  One of my goals was to focus more energy towards what is important in my life; to stop wasting my time on things that just don’t matter in the long run.  After putting our families, homes and jobs first, I know that we have very little resources and energy left to commit to our other passions.  I am proud that NALS is a passion that I chose to devote precious energy to.  
 
 
I cannot believe 2010 is almost over!  It seems like just yesterday we were gathering in Phoenix for the Annual Spring Conference and Installation Banquet and getting our first look at the NALS Bingo Card.  Have you BINGO’d?  If you have, then you are in luck!  One lucky NALS member will receive a paid registration (up to $100 value) to the NALS of Arizona Winter Conference at the Desert Diamond Casino on February 11-12, 2011!  Could it be you???  Let’s find out!
 
 
Our NALS of Arizona Winter Conference is just months away – February 11-12, 2011! The flyer and registration form have been uploaded onto the NALS of Arizona website. The theme is The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and our conference committee has scheduled some excellent speakers! So sign up today and make sure to reserve your hotel room right away.
 
 
As I get ready to leave for the National Conference in Branson and decide what seminars I will attend, I have been thinking about the wonderful opportunities for CLE available right here in Arizona.

If you have not signed up for NALS of Arizona’s Survivor Course being held on November 5, 2010 at the Black Canyon Conference Center, there is still time!  We are offering this seminar live or via webinar – the choice is yours!  We are offering 5 hours of CLE, including Ethics, Software in the Law Office and a panel of Judicial Assistants.  We will also be drawing for door prizes – so you don’t want to miss out!

We also have our NALS of Arizona Winter Conference on February 11 and 12, 2011 at the Desert Diamond Casino Hotel and Resort in Tucson, Arizona.  This conference is another opportunity to earn that coveted CLE.  The welcome party begins Friday evening and the CLE sessions are scheduled throughout the day on Saturday.  As always, we will have raffle prizes and a variety of vendors for you to shop.  Make plans to arrive on Friday and stay all weekend!  More details to come!

Both of these educational opportunities are available to you right here in our own backyard!  Not only will you earn CLE credit for your certification or CLE award, but you will be filing up your BINGO cards and having fun doing it!

I hope to see you at a NALS of Arizona event soon!
