As our members grow more successful and well-respected, many choose to deepen their commitment to the North Carolina Advocates For Justice and become Patrons, Sustaining Patrons or Benefactors, with each level offering substantially more benefits as you move through our highly-regarded ranks. At the pinnacle of your career, you may choose to join our President's Club, which is made up of our most successful and most committed members.

Our enhanced members enjoy a number of benefits. Some benefits include special events held for only the enhanced members; recognition at events such as CLEs and Convention with ribbons indicating your level of giving; and a directory listing in a special area of the directory and an enhanced listing throughout the directory (italics, bold, bold italics, bold italics caps). President's Club members also get a bio with their picture included in the directory. Many members use our directory for referral and the enhanced members are who they look for first. Our enhanced members also get a certificate of appreciation for their level of giving suitable for framing, and President's Club members are also given a frame. In addition, we do other things throughout the year to show our enhanced members our appreciation!

Most importantly, without our enhanced members we would not be able to continue to offer the numerous services that we provide at the North Carolina Advocates For Justice. We rely on your contributions and commitment to keep the North Carolina Advocates For Justice strong and to help ensure that we fulfill our mission of Protecting People's Rights. Please consider upgrading to an enhanced level of membership today! For more information, contact Lisa White, Marketing & Membership Director (ph: 800.688.1413).
