High Quality CLE by Charlotte Morrison
It's simple; lawyers want high quality continuing legal education (CLE) at affordable prices. Providing high quality CLE is one of the principal services offered by the Arkansas Bar Association. We realize you have a choice and we thank you for choosing us. Many of our members give generously of their time and talents, and the Arkansas Bar Association produces some of the best, most timely CLE available. Those involved in these programs during the past bar year are listed at the end of this article. We would like to thank them all for their contribution to the education of Arkansas attorneys. While our primary goal in offering CLE is to provide a service to OUT members, CLE is also critical to the financial success of our bar association. Without steady income from CLE seminars, either bar association services would
need to decrease or membership dues would need to increase. Attendance at many of our seminars has declined. This can be attributed to the increased competition the association faces from other providers. Since our primary goal is high quality education, we commend all those who share our common goaL However, we do ask you, OUT members, to be
aware of the fact that the dollars spent on Arkansas Bar Association CLE are critical to the association and come back to
you in the form of other membership services. Therefore, whenever a choice

exists, we ask you to consider our pro-
grams not only because of their quality but also to support the bar association While we believe we are the best CLE providers, we need to rely on our members to bring to our attention where improvement is needed. Please take advantage of the evaluation at the seminars, or call the CLE department with YOUT conlffients.
