Becoming a Member

How do I become a member of the Minnesota Chapter of LMA?
The membership procedures have changed recently, and you must join the Minnesota chapter through the National Association.

What are the Minnesota Chapter's Dues?
Membership in LMA is recorded in the name of the individual, not the organization. Membership dues are non-refundable and are due annually on the anniversary date of acceptance. LMA initiation fee of $50.00 and local chapter dues, if applicable, are included in the member fee.

LMA Categories of Membership
LMA has three categories of Membership: Regular Full Members, Regular Limited Members, and Affiliate Members

Regular membership is for anyone who is interested in legal marketing, whether the member be employed in a law firm, in a consulting capacity, or outside a law firm. There are two options for Regular members, which vary in cost and benefits.

Regular Full Membership
Full Members of LMA receive full access to all the networking, educational and professional development benefits of LMA. These benefits include:

Affiliate Members
Affiliate Membership may be granted to any individual who is a member in good standing of an organization recognized by the Board of Directors as an "affiliated association." This is a non-voting membership, and enjoys the same member benefits as the Regular Limited Membership. Currently, the affiliated membership is extended to members of Professional Services Marketing Group.

All members, regardless of category, agree to support LMA’s purposes and agree to abide by these bylaws and such other rules and regulations as LMA may adopt. Memberships are granted to individuals rather than to firms or companies. Memberships may only be transferred to another member if 1) the individual member requests such a transfer in writing and 2) the departing member leaves the industry. Membership terms are for a 12-month period.

If I join, will the Minnesota LMA Chapter endorse my products or services?
Membership in the Minnesota Chapter of the Legal Marketing Association does not imply endorsement by LMA, Minnesota Chapter, of products or services provided by the member.
