Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. THE ANNUAL MEETING PROVIDES THREE DAYS OF CONTINUING EDUCATION AND NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES TO OUR MEMBERS AND IN-HOUSE COUNSEL. WE PROVIDE VALUABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR MEMBERS TO CONTINUE THEIR EDUCATION, NETWORK, AND OBTAIN NEW BUSINESS. WE ALSO HAVE OUR EXPO WHERE OUR FIRMS ARE ABLE TO SHOWCASE THEIR PRACTICE.
  2. THE DRIVING DIVERSITY AND LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, FKA THE BUSINESS MEETING, IS SIMILAR TO THE ANNUAL MEETING BUT ON A SMALLER SCALE. IT IS ALIGNED BY PRACTICE AREA AND ATTEMPTS TO MATCH IN-HOUSE AND OUR FIRMS BY PRACTICE. WE ALSO HAVE A LAW FIRM ONLY AFTERNOON DESIGNED TO HELP OUR LAW FIRMS BE MORE SUCCESSFUL. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE IN-HOUSE ONLY SESSIONS TO HELP IN-HOUSE FIND MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO UTILIZE OUR FIRMS.
  3. THE PRACTICE AREA COMMITTEE INITIATIVES WORK TO CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR FIRMS IN SPECIFIC AREAS OF PRACTICE. WE WORK WITH OUR FIRMS TO CREATE SPECIALIZED MARKETING PIECES, WEB PAGES, AND EDUCATION FOR COUNSEL BASED ON THEIR SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE.
