I would like to see even more members sending us articles and ideas for articles, information about chapter events, and so on. This really is a member's publication and the more people we can get involved, the better it will be. Pattwell continues that the organization also is looking to increase its public relations activities. Thus far, the International Convention has been the main focus of our public relations, but we realize that we have to extend this. We realize that it's important for this organization to get its due in the national trade journals on a regular basis.
Perceptions are very important.
We're doing a lot of good things and we need to get the word out. This will not only help the organization, but will enhance the growing importance of the RPLU and the professional liability industry in general. We recognize that we're competing for space against a lot of other well-established groups, so we'll need a strong public relations effort. Constant mentions in the trade press will make our efforts to attract members and enhance our reputation easier. Pattwell says the organization has accepted a proposal to go on the Internet.
