353 days per year

That's how many days of each year there are outside of the Stated Meetings

We want AIPLA members to be involved, and to feel involved, every day of the year, not just at

Stated Meetings

What can we do?

Getting members involved during the other 353 days of each year?

One thing that we can do is to make use of our Committee email discussion groups

This Committee listservs can help members feel that they are part of a community every day of the year
