In fact, the two national presidents were seen in cordial and friendly conversation at the last CAPA Conference. Indeed, if animosity exists between these two organizations, it is not present at the national level. Reporters, publishers, and editors representing otherwise must be doing so without investigating the facts. One of NFPA's goals this year is to continue our efforts to work with other law-related professional associations, both nationally and locally. The mission of finding common ground and strengthening our ties for the good of the profession starts with each and every individual paralegal.
Many paralegals are members of both national associations.
We will do a great disservice to these individuals, and to our entire profession, if we fail to respect differing opinions or suppress discussion of divergent ideas. When Lewis Carroll created a world through a looking glass, I'm certain he never envisioned the paralegal profession. You see, a minute goes by so fearfully quick. Indeed, time can take its toll on our strength. Let's not waste time focusing on our differences, but rather concentrate on the successes we can accomplish through the spirit of teamwork.
