Member expressed priorities continue to involve regulation, membership and education on the value and role of the paralegal.

RECAP OF THE LAST NFPA MEMBERSHIP SURVEY(CONTINUED): Members feel the Board meetings are effective and well organized. By being more involved in NFPA, members have a better understanding of how the association works. Coordinators and committee members are very active in the association and are an integral part of NFPA’s continued success and growth.
