WANT TO BE THE NEXT STUDENT LIAISON???!!!

We are pleased to announce the continuation of our Student Liaison Program in its third year.  We are looking for students who are go-getters and members of the MCPA to fill Student Liaison positions to represent their schools at our monthly board meetings in 2011.  This is a one year term. 

We need representatives from Peirce College, Lansdale School of Business, Manor College, Villanova University, California University of PA, Community College of Philadelphia, etc.  Prospective candidates must be members of the MCPA, enrolled in a paralegal studies program, and able to attend one Board Meeting a month held in Montgomery County.  Although student liaisons do not have voting power, they can provide input to the Board on behalf of their fellow students regarding their needs and how the Association can better serve them.  Student liaisons also assist with coordinating speaking events and informational sessions between the MCPA and their respective schools. 

If you are interested, please submit a short bio/resume to me by October 15, 2010.  Please include the name of your school, expected graduation date, job (if you have one), any legal experience, and any other organizations with which you may be affiliated.  I will review and submit to the Board for final approval.  We will announce the names of the 2011 Student Liaisons at our Election Meeting in November.  The appointment of Student Liaisons to our Board of Directors has not only been a huge success, but it has peaked interest with other local associations.  This is a networking opportunity, which can benefit your career search as a paralegal.  Your voice as a student needs to be heard!
