ALA AND THE
VALUE OF PARTNERSHIP
The Association of Legal Administrators
is a not-for-profit organization founded
in 1971 with its headquarters located in
Lincolnshire, Illinois. Its membership
has grown steadily over the years and
now has over 10,000 members from 30
countries world-wide.
The local
Jacksonville Chapter was chartered in
1985 and has 38 members. These
members are involved in the decision
making and management of law firms
and government agencies.
When
evaluating their needs for goods and
services, our members are encouraged to
consider
companies
which
have
developed a relationship with our
Chapter, which typically is established
through sponsorships in our Business
Partners’ program.
Listed below are just a few of the many reasons we value our
business partner relationships:
•
•
•
•
•
One of our primary missions is to educate our members
to the highest standards, which is made possible, in large
part, through your sponsorship dollars.
Chapter members depend upon contacts within the
business community who will share their expertise about
their products and services helping them stay in the
forefront of the latest technology.
Experience and trust grow from consistent and repeated
contact with our Business Partners, which allow
administrators to rely on resources outside their firms.
Trusting Business Partner relationships give the
administrator enhanced credibility and improved quality
of management within legal service organizations.
Those who provide our external business services are
always our first choice in seeking sponsorships.
We hope you will find this 2015 Sponsorship Opportunities Guide useful
when planning your future involvement with JAX-ALA. Thank you for your
support in helping us achieve our mission. We value your expertise,
participation and commitment. Thank you for making this partnership a
success!

with anyone besides the listed Business Partner; this includes publishing on

Golf Anyone?
Business Partners – Would you be
interested in a Golf activity offered
to our Managing Partners for the

Our thoughts are that each Business

However before we plan such an
event we would like your input.
