ASLA has had an insurance program in the past for both life and health.  Not sure where they are with that these days.
Sounds like you are volunteering to get more accolades for women!  Bravo!  We need to do the same for minorities.  There was a movement afloat for that when Dennis Otsuji was…[Read more]

It seems like there may be a format by which mentoring could be rewarded.  I know if you speak at a conference, you get CEUs.  Any other suggestions?

I see some valid points here.  As I attend various speeches on professional topics, I often find myself searching for nuggets that I can actually use profesionally.  While it is challenging sometimes to find real world nuggets of information, I have found that the search is part of the deal.
In regards to University web pages in paragraph 2…[Read more]
