NALS the Time...Here’s the Place!
There is Still Room on the Wall and things to name!

NALS...the association for legal professionals has announced the exciting move of the NALS Resource Center to a new location. This announcement took place at the NALS Professional Development and Education Conference held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, March 9-10. With excitement from those in attendance, the association announced the purchase of a building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, making it the only legal professional association to own its own home! The new NALS Resource Center is currently being renovated to better serve the needs of the NALS Staff as well as making the new resource center a facility that can be used and enjoyed by members. The new facility will have the capabilities to house small retreats and meetings for state, local and regional groups. Thanks to a donation from the NALS Foundation the new resource center will feature the NALS Foundation Learning Center which will be able to house 8 to 14 individuals who will actually be able to stay onsite for weekend retreats or training sessions.

In the right hand column of this page we have posted a picture of the exterior of the building and we will be posting updates as the building is completed. This is exciting news and we hope that you are excited by the new facility and all that it will be able to offer. Along with new features NALS has also designed a space in the building to house a recognition wall for those who wish to support the project. We will have wooden tiles engraved and placed on this wall for all visitors to see. The tiles will be available in three different sizes and the cost of these recognition tiles are listed below. Please join the many that have already chosen to purchase their tiles and show your support of NALS!

Along with the recognition tiles all those choosing to give $100 or more will receive a commemorative pin honoring their contribution. A picture of the pin will be posted in the near future.
