EVENT CANCELED
Due to the large number of employers asking people to work remotely, schools being closed, and out of an abundance of caution, the IPA Board of Directors has elected to cancel the March monthly meeting. We are hopeful that we will be able to reschedule our speaker for a later date. Please contact President@indianaparalegals.org, or anyone else on the Board of Directors should you have any questions.
