2014 04 Member Madness

There are a few changes in place for the 2014-2015 board year, please be sure to read through the information below!

NEW PRICES AND LOCATION FOR MONTHLY EDUCATIONAL LUNCHEONS!!

NEW PRICE:  In an effort to thank our members for their continued loyalty to the Mile High Chapter of the Association of Legal Administrators, the Board has lowered the price of the monthly educational luncheons from $30 to ONLY $10 per lunch for the 2014-2015 Board Year! This reduction in price is for the educational lunches scheduled for 5/14/14, 6/19/14, 8/21/14, 9/18/14, 11/20/14, 10/16/14, 1/22/15, 2/19/15 and 3/19/15.   The price for guests will remain at $35 per luncheon.  The reduced price does not pertain to the Holiday Lunch in December.

NEW LOCATION:  The luncheons are returning to the Courtyard by Marriott on 16th Avenue and Curtis.  Valet parking is available for those members traveling from outside downtown and will be paid for by the Chapter.

Webinars:

Webinars are back and will be hosted at two locations to meet the needs of our members.  Linda Gross will host the DTC/Cherry Creek location and I will host the Downtown location.  Webinars will remain free to members.  Given the number of webinars, an email will only go out at the beginning of the month reminding members of that month’s webinars, please see attached and calendar the webinars you plan to attend.  Don’t forget to register for the webinars, it helps Linda and I plan accordingly.  Let me know if you have any questions.
