INFORMATION ITEMS
2. Section Enrollment. The Committee discussed strategies for supporting sections in recruiting and
retaining members. Recommendations for staff implementation are: continue sharing details with
section leaders on annual section counts, including lists of new members and non-renewing
members; continue development of enhanced list serve platform, which will provide renewal
reminders to section members; increase promotion of the availability and value of section
memberships; work with sections to enhance their value proposition for membership; provide
training and networking opportunities for section leaders to share recruitment strategies.
3. SSFP interest in creating a referral service. The committee discussed a proposal from the Sole &
Small Firm Practitioners Section to create a website with referral-service properties. Members
agreed on a goal of finding ways to support the section’s goals without undermining the bar’s own
referral program, which is still in the early stages of an overhaul. Representatives from the SSFP
were scheduled to present the proposal to the full BOG.
