NAPABA Partners Directory
Date posted: 7/19/10

If you have been in private practice for 5 or more years and belong to a firm with at least 10 attorneys, you need to make sure you are a current member of the Partners Committee to ensure that your profile will be included in this year's print edition of the NAPABA Partners Directory. The deadline to renew your NAPABA Partners membership is July 31, 2010. Visit this link to check whether your partner membership is current or needs to be renewed: www.napaba.org

Each lawyer included in the print Directory will receive 3 hard copies. Copies will also be sent to over 1,000 Corporate Counsel to use as a desk reference tool when they need outside counsel.

NAPABA will publish the print version of the 2010 Partners Directory prior to the November 2010 Convention in Los Angeles. This Directory will feature hundreds of NAPABA members who are Partners and Senior Associates throughout the country and abroad.

PLACE YOUR FIRM'S ADVERTISEMENT in the print version of the Directory: Support the Directory and get your Firm some visibility with a full page ad. The premier placements available are the outside back cover ($3,000 for full color or $2,500 for black and white) and the inside front and back covers ($1,500 for Black and White only). Interior full-page black and white ads, which are interspaced among the attorney profiles, will cost $750.

If you are interested in placing your firm's ad in the print version of the Directory, please email NAPABA Partners Committee Chair Bruce Ishimatsu at bli@birdmarella.com by July 31. The premier locations of ads will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Boston Bar Association's Group Mentoring Program
Date posted: 7/14/10

Don't miss out on the opportunity to become involved in the Boston Bar Association's Group Mentoring Program and become part of the next generation of diverse leaders in Boston's legal community. The program consists of several mentoring groups, each with 8 mentees lead by 2 experienced attorneys. The groups meet monthly for discussions about career paths, work life balance issues and professional challenges. If you are an up-and-coming lawyer who has been in practice for less than 8 years, we encourage you to participate. Take it from past mentees:

• "We can sit down in an intimate setting and really obtain valuable advice from seasoned attorneys informally."
• "The discussions have been stimulating and the program has given me a chance to meet lawyers in a setting that I otherwise probably wouldn't meet."
• "It is wonderful to have a group of individuals who are committed to facilitating relationships with other members of the bar, and it has proved to be a helpful forum to run ideas, concerns and questions by more senior members."

The BBA is forming mentoring groups for the fall now. Contact Susan Helm at 617-778-1984 or shelm@bostonbar.org by July 15 if you would like to participate.
