I’m a NALA ACP/CAS. And NALA membership is national and world wide. There are state and local associations like NALS. I chose to pursue the NALA credential as NALA offers (in my opinion) more educational opportunities within the association. I’ve also been to several conventions and have enjoyed them. Took a cross country train trip in 2023 and will also take a train trip to the Denver convention. And the vibe is pretty fun!
I agree. Have you tried Perfectly Paralegal? Sometimes we can get free CLE’s there (not often) but she charges a lot less than others. Why not give her a try. I love it.
I would love to be a part of NALA but here in southwest Ohio, it isn't worth the expense. I haven't heard of a single position in any area of law that is willing to compensate you for being part of NALA, or even being certified.
I have 10+ years experience and never heard back from NALA after I applied, so I wonder if it's an organization where you need to know somebody to get in? The one person I do know that's part of it is pretty cringe.
