NACBA chose Higher Logic for its robust features, options for libraries and microsites, and an easy-to-use platform that was well-suited to limited staff resources. The functionality and flexibility offered through Higher Logic’ s community platform will be night and day for even for the most active user.
Once again, while the existing system will be maintained as long as possible( until fatal error), the new system has been operational for the last 12 months. NACBA is now well positioned for current and future usage with a system that has built in redundancy, security and engagement features found on many social media platforms.
Do attorneys love change? Of course not. However, the membership should rest assure knowing that over 500 hours were invested over 12 months that met time deadlines and budgetary requirements. This initiative involved project management, assessing business needs, reviewing internal processes, developing documentation, and overseeing training needs.
Most importantly, the new NACBA Communities ensure the continued live, informative, insightful, humorous and sometimes, snarky“ listserv” emails necessary to educate, advocate and litigate.
We also have plans for different types of communities( in 2017) that will directly impact your practice.
