State Chapters


Fox Valley Chapter

NEXT MEETING: Fox Valley Chapter does not have monthly meetings with speakers until September 2008. I will be contacting members for input on speakers and subject matter as we get closer to the fall.

Welcome to the Fox Valley Chapter of the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin (PAW). We meet once a month and discuss various issues paralegals are facing today, have educational speakers, perform volunteer activities, network, help our local paralegal students, and much more!

Meetings run from September through May each year (except December). In May, we invite you to join us at the annual seminar. For more information on the annual seminar, click the link on the home page.

The benefits of becoming a member of our chapter are endless - networking, mentoring, and the job bank, to name a few! If you are interested, please e-mail or call me, or simply click on "Membership" and then choose "Join or Renew." If you're still not sure if you want to join, we welcome all paralegals and paralegal students to our meetings to see what we're all about.

For more information, please contact me.

Madison Chapter

NEXT MEETING: We will not be having local meetings in May, June, July, or August. Our local meetings will resume in September. Meeting times and dates will be announed in August.

Our lunch meetings are at Noon on Fridays at Bourbon Street Grille and our evening meetings begin at 6:00 at the WPS campus. We are looking to try a mixer or holiday party and invite some of the students at MATC and Herzing College, in December.

Welcome to the Madison Section of the PAW Newsletter. Thank you for your interest in the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin, Inc., on behalf of the Madison Chapter and the Officers and Board of Directors.

The Madison Chapter meetings begin in September and run through May with no meeting in the month of December. Normally meetings include speaker representation on various legal topics. Meeting locations rotate among local restaurants and local offices. We have several members that travel some distance for meetings, so some of our meetings are held in the evening and some are held during the lunch hour.

One goal of the PAW is to promote and encourage networking among its members, particularly among new members who may not know other paralegals in the area or who are new to the legal field. We also encourage students in Paralegal programs to be active in PAW. We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to other members of our Association.

Members: If you have moved or changed employers, please contact us with updated information. There are approximately ten returned e-mails every month.

Milwaukee Chapter

NEXT MEETING:

Hello and thank you for your interest in The Paralegal Association of Wisconsin, on behalf of the Milwaukee Chapter and the Officers and Board of Directors of our Association.

The Milwaukee Chapter will hold monthly meetings for 2005-2006 from September to May. Meetings this year will be held at the Milwaukee Athletic Club and include one half hour of social time and a one half hour speaker presentation on various topics. Ethics credits are also included yearly, available this year at our January 2006 meeting.

We look forward to meeting you and introducing you to other members of our Association at future general membership meetings of our Chapter. To that end, we would like to invite you to our next meeting.

One goal of PAW is to promote and encourage networking among its members, particularly among new members who may not know many other paralegals. You can develop contacts in the profession by attending our monthly Chapter meetings, and by joining and participating on a committee!
