We have several chapters outside the NY area. We have many successful members across the country and as far afield as England, India, Japan, Mexico, Canada, and the Czech Republic. They do benefit greatly from our listserv, JobList service, newsletter, annual directory, publications, and benefits programs. General meetings and affinity group meetings are written up in the newsletter. The plan offers discounted general legal services to all EFA members and their families nationwide.
Members have free access to most of our meetings, affinity groups, parties, and other events.
Members also pay a reduced price for our skills-building courses. Very definitely yes. We can't promise that your EFA membership will bring you work, but just one job found through EFA will usually repay your membership cost and then some. In fact, a member from St. Paul, Minnesota recently told us that she has gotten most of her work for the past four years from the Job Line. However, many Job Line listings come from clients outside the New York City region, and most jobs involve work that can be done anywhere.
