 * AJA announces GET INVOLVED, an ambitious new membership development campaign
   In a recent message to every current AJA member, President, Justice Robert
   Torres (Guam Supreme Count) announced the launch of Get Involved, the
   Association’s ambitious program to double the size of its membership. In
   doing so he said: “If AJA is to continue to be the pre-eminent voice of the
   judiciary, we will need every existing member to GET INVOLVED  in this
   ambitious campaign. We simply must have more members to assume key roles in
   the organization for  AJA to effectively continue to develop our
   well-respected brands of:  Judicial Excellence, Procedural Fairness, Making
   Better Judges, and advocate  for independent, accessible and fair courts.
   Getting and keeping judges involved in a member-driven, judges-only
   professional association is becoming an increasingly difficult challenge.  If
   AJA is to succeed in this ambitious membership development campaign, every
   current AJA member must GET INVOLVED.”
   
   To make it easier for AJA members to GET INVOLVED, they will be provided with
   a straightforward toolkit outlining what each member can do in less than 10
   minutes to recruit judges to join AJA.

   The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) invites all judges who preside
   over adult and juvenile cases involving community supervision, including
   pre-trial and probation, to join a listserv.  This listserv will serve as a
   secure and confidential means for judges across the country to engage in open
   discussions about current local and national issues in community
   supervision.  Judges and the NCSC will have the ability to post informational
   items as well as to pose questions to other listserv members and engage in
   discussions.  To join the listserv, send an e-mail to
   listserv@listserv.ncsconline.org.  In the body of the message, type:  join
   Judges-CommunitySupervision.  Then follow the instructions in the return
   message to confirm the request.  Please contact Michelle White at
   mwhite@ncsc.org with any questions or for additional information.
