Message from the Chair
by: Danielle Price
I have a few membership and CLE updates to share and I have some information in follow up to Paralegal's Day, which was May 18th.
As many of you may already know, the Bar has added a new member benefit for attorneys which is a Lawyers Assistance Program that began in March of this year. The Paralegal Division is very pleased to announce that the Bar is also making this program available to members of the Paralegal Division. These services are offered through Blomquist Hale and will be available to Division members beginning September 1, 2006. Additional information about Blomquist Hale is available on their website at www.blomquisthale.com. The Paralegal Division will be mailing information on this program to all Division members at their home address in August.
Blomquist Hale offers services throughout the state and beginning September 1, 2006, "you and your family will have immediate access to trained counselors for face-to-face help with family problems, stress, depression, anxiety, personal cash management difficulties, elder care challenges, assessment of drug/alcohol dependence, and any other issues impairing your work or personal lives." This is just some of the information available on the Bar's website at http://utahbar.org/members/blomquisthale.html.
