Welcome to the Raleigh-Wake
Paralegal Association
The Raleigh-Wake Paralegal Association was formed in October 1979 by a group of professional paralegals with the primary goal of enhancing professionalism and fraternity among paralegals in the Wake County area of North Carolina.
Today, the Association currently has over 139 members on its roster and next year, we will be celebrating our 30th Anniversary.
The RWPA strives to contribute to the legal community as well as serving the needs of its members. RWPA holds lunch meetings on the second Wednesday of each month. Featured at each luncheon are guest speakers from a variety of practice areas as well as local businesses who keep the membership abreast of new developments and available resources. We are changing our location! Starting on June 11th at our Monthly Meeting, all RWPA Monthly Member Meetings will be located at the HOLIDAY INN on Glenwood and 440. The RWPA membership has outgrown their current location and has decided it is in the best interest of all Wake County Paralegals, to move our meeting to a centrally located area. The new facility allows for ample/free parking, a sit-down lunch and a larger more comfortable room. We are excited about the move and the upcoming speakers this year (please see our events tab).
One of the highlights of the RWPA year is our annual CLE. This year, the all day CLE is scheduled for Friday, October 3rd, 2008 at the Holiday Inn on Glenwood and 440. We are proud that our CLE provides all the required CLE credits in order for a North Carolina Certified Paralegal to maintain their certification. Our CLE is scheduled in a "break-out" style where you can choose which CLE courses you would like to attend. Included with the CLE fee is breakfast, a delicious hot buffet lunch, an afternoon snack and a manuscript of all the break-out sessions we are offering that day. The fee for this all day seminar is $185.00 for members and $275.00 for non-members. For more information and to download the 2008 application please see our "News" tab or contact Sherry Grady, 2nd VP/CLE Chair. Seating is limited.
