Member Get A Member. We will benefit again from the ABA's Member Get a Member campaign, set to launch the week of January 23, 2012. The ABA will offer a free trial membership to people who are not current ABA members. This is a great way to recruit lawyers and professionals other than lawyers to join the Section of Dispute Resolution because a free section membership through the end of August is part of the package. You can help: Identify a list of people to recruit by email. For example, get permission from your state or local bar association ADR Section or a minority bar association to email a free trial membership offer from the ABA. Supply the email list as an Excel spreadsheet to Section of Dispute Resolution staff who can send out an email message under your signature when Member Get a Member officially begins. Watch for the link to the ABA 2012 Member Get a Member web pages where you can do your own online recruiting. 12th Largest ABA Entity.
