Wendi specializes in medical malpractice litigation. Before becoming Benefits Coordinator, she was NFPA's UPL Coordinator. Wendi monitors and expands upon NFPA membership benefits, which are important to NFPA because they give members incentives to continue their involvement and help market NFPA to non-members. NFPA hopes to continue to offer many other cost-saving benefits. The primary purpose of Carolyn's position is to work with NFPA member associations to see that their needs are met and to assist with their growth and development.
Most associations go through cycles of development.
Carolyn's role is to be aware of changes in membership and to make sure that NFPA Board members are available to assist associations as needs arise. Among the goals of this committee are to make follow-up contacts with every paralegal who has expressed an interest in either becoming a part of a local association or in forming a new association. The Region Directors play a key role in keeping the Board informed on local developments, and Carolyn works with them on local matters.
