NALP in Boston: Going the Distance
The NALP Annual Education Conference is the largest, most comprehensive, and well-respected educational program in our profession. The programming offered covers all areas of our profession from recruiting and career counseling to professional development, diversity and inclusion, and more.
Specific sessions will target the current challenges members face in a changing legal environment, including issues in lateral hiring, delivering bad news, change management, understanding the ins and outs of judicial clerkships, presentation skills, summer program updates, etc. You will also hear three remarkable plenaries that will offer insights into dealing with adversity, millennials in the workplace, and current issues in diversity and inclusion.
The 2016 Annual Education Conference is the product of a year-long planning effort by a dedicated group of elected and appointed individuals who are committed to a conference with unlimited opportunities. This planning team listened to your feedback and has planned a conference with premier educational programming, networking and wellness activities, and many opportunities to gather with peers.Get a glimpse of the planning process in January's NALP Bulletin article. | Download the complete conference brochure.

NALP Honors Adrianne Haslet-Davis with Contributions to Limbs for Life
Limbs for Life Foundation provides payment for lower limb prosthetic
care to amputees who are U.S. Citizens or legal residents who have no
other means of obtaining a lower limb. Over 3,000 amputations occur in
the U.S. each week. While some people have resources to obtain
prosthetic care, many more do not. Amputees are faced with staggering
emotional and financial lifestyle changes. While high-tech prosthetic
devices are available, they are out of reach for many low-income
amputees. The cost for a prosthetic can range from $10,000 to over
$100,000. Through partnerships with prosthetic clinics and donations of
component parts, Limbs for Life pays $2,500 for a below-knee prosthetic
limb and $3,500 for an above-knee limb. We are happy to support this
cause in honor of our opening plenary speaker!
Adrianne is running the 2016 Boston Marathon to support Limbs for Life. Watch her interview with CBS This Morning here.

Offered by the NALP Foundation and NALP, Coaching 201 is a “next level” workshop for legal professional development administrators, law school career services professionals, and lawyers who want to continue to build on the coaching skills and principles learned in the Foundational Coaching Skills 101 program. Participants will “hit the ground running” in this highly interactive workshop, where they will learn additional tools and techniques for effective coaching. The principles, competencies, and skills of coaching for development will be a focal point. Participants will have the opportunity to apply these principles and skills in small working groups and gain valuable feedback from faculty coaches and peers. Topics include developing a coaching outlook, elements of the coaching outlook, engaging and developing others, balancing your approach, advanced levels of listening, and challenging cases. Similar to the 101 program, this 201 workshop will draw from the best practices of the Center for Creative Leadership, ICF, and ATD’s coaching research and programming and will be aligned with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics.
