NetWORKS! is designed to be an enjoyable way to build your professional network and hone your networking skills.
Membership Requirements:
- Membership is open to all sustaining members except law students.
- Members choose which group they wish to opt in to—Omaha and Lincoln —and may be members of all both groups if they wish.
- OMAHA & LINCOLN MEMBERS: the expectation is you'll be available to meet in the geographic area. For example, Omaha group members will be available to meet in the Omaha area. If you live/work in Lincoln and join the Omaha group, you're expected to travel to Omaha rather than ask the Omaha lawyer to meet you halfway or drive to Lincoln unless it is mutually agreeable to both parties to do so.
- COVID-19: During the global pandemic, we encourage our NetWORKS! members to practice social distancing and safe social practices to keep themselves and their matches safe and healthy. Virtual meetings are encouraged during this time unless otherwise agreed to by both parties.
- Members agree to be matched for 6 one-to-one meetings each year and further agree to help facilitate their meetings on a timely basis.
- Members must be willing to provide a complete online profile.
- Members agree to report to NSBA if they AREN’T able to have their network coffee/lunch during the assigned window.
- Members may ask to be placed on hiatus status and will not be matched during that time.
- Dues are $10, whether a member joins one group or all three.
How it Works:
- Membership is open for all groups - Omaha and Lincoln.
- Matches are randomly generated using software. Lawyers are not matched based on practice area or other factors.
- NSBA will match members one-to-one. NSBA will create the match, email the two attorneys, and it will be up to them to arrange to meet. Match notices go out around the first day of odd-numbered months. Members meet during the next 60 days.
