To our current Business Partners, we thank you for supporting 
the Long Island Chapter and hope you decide to continue your partnership with ALA.

The Association of Legal Administrators (ALA) is a non-profit international organization, with over 9,000 members worldwide, committed to providing personal and professional growth, as well as educational and networking opportunities, to professionals involved in the management of law firms, corporate and legal departments and government legal agencies.  Founded in 1971, ALA has been at the forefront of the legal management profession. ALA is grateful for the support legal industry consultants, suppliers and vendors (our “Business Partner Community”) offer to our Association, both financially and by offering quality education and service. These Business Partners (BP’s) provide a vital service to the legal community.
To help foster stronger working relationships between ALA and the local business community, the Long Island Chapter is pleased to provide you with the details of our Business Partner Program. We invite you to review the program details and consider the benefits of becoming an ALA Long Island Business Partner:

•	Businesses that partner with ALA Long Island are our members’ first choice when seeking products and services for their firm.
•	Chapter members look to and depend upon business partners to share information and stay informed about emerging trends in the legal community and its support industries.
•	Experience and trust grow from consistent and repeated contact between business partners and members.
•	Your participation will be recognized and appreciated in helping us fulfill our primary mission, which is to provide high quality, competency based education to our Chapter members.

While we recognize Business Partners are independent entities, the practice and actions of a Business Partner, whether for or on behalf of ALA, or in matters unrelated to the Association, may impact and/or reflect upon the Association. For this reason, ALA has established certain guidelines to which ALA members and Business Partners must commit in order to foster mutually beneficial relationships. These guidelines are intended to advance the Association’s mission and to strengthen the relationships between Business Partners and ALA members. (Refer to our Performance Guidelines for more details.)

For the Business Partner Community—

•	Commit to open, honest and ethical interaction.
•	Demonstrate professional conduct and be sensitive to conflicts of interest.
•	Conduct due diligence and provide exemplary customer service to foster long-term relationships.
•	Educate ALA members on new industry trends and technology.
•	Comply with applicable laws, regulations and rules.
•	Secure written consent from ALA Headquarters prior to using the Association logo. For ALA members—
•	Be open to new Business Partners and new ideas.
•	Recognize that Business Partners’ time is valuable.
•	Be honest about your intentions and your firm’s goals and priorities.
•	Treat Business Partners with respect and honesty.
•	Give credit where credit is due and let them know how much you appreciate their work.
