Networking Tip #2

As I start to upload the photographs and type up my testimonials of the conference, I'd like to share with you Networking Tip #2: Building Relationships.

After you've exchanged business cards with a new contact, what happens next? Well, I've found this website to be very helpful. It offers great advice on how to build your network and develop relationships with your contacts. For me, the most important thing is to be genuine!

Time to say goodbye to the NAPABA 2011 Convention.

It's our final night here in Atlanta at the 23rd Annual NAPABA Convention. It has been a great three days of chatting with other law students, attorneys and judges. We have learned so much about the progress and successes of the APA community that we want to share this with all our members back in snowy MN (yes, I know we missed the first snow of the season).

So check in regularly to catch our review of the Convention. I will be uploading pictures and including testimonials of the panels and events we attended, bios of the different speakers present and the types of opportunities out there for law students. Though only two WM students could attend this year's Convention, we hope that our experience will entice you to attend next year's.

In fact, I want you all to save the date! The NAPABA 2012 Convention will be held in Washington D.C. at the JW Marriott from November 15th to the 18th.

For more information about this year's Convention, head on over to the Office of Multicultural Affairs and check the news stand. I will be leaving copies of the Convention materials (I apologize for my scribbles!) in the office. Again, check the blog in the next few days for posts on NAPABA Atlanta 2011.

A final good night to Atlanta, to NAPABA and to all the awesome folks we've had the pleasure of meeting!
