Now available on www.massbar.org is a list of CLE programs for
purchase through MBA On Demand. Purchases selected from the new
online catalog will provide practitioners the opportunity to watch
an MBA conference, seminar or roundtable from their home or
office.
For practitioners unable to attend an MBA conference, seminar or
roundtable, MBA On Demand provides an alternative to the in-person
experience. To view MBA On Demand programs, visit www.massbar.org/ondemand.
"The goal of MBA On Demand is to provide quality CLE programs to
attorneys and staff statewide - when they want it, how they want it
and where they want it," said MBA Education Co-Chair Alan J.
Klevan.
Members who register for CLE programs, which have been recorded
for MBA On Demand, will receive an enhanced resource package,
including permanent links to the program's e-publication and On
Demand presentation in their "My Resources" profile on
www.massbar.org. This allows individuals who attended a program in
person to access the MBA On Demand recording to revisit, as
necessary, critical discussion topics anytime in the future.
MBA member Matthew Des Meules of Des Meules Law in Andover
recently purchased "Distressed Property Bootcamp Session I: Short
Sales" via MBA On Demand, which he watched at his office. Although
Des Meules normally prefers to attend programs in person, he
purchased the MBA On Demand program and watched in his office. He
had an "immediate need" following a customer inquiry requiring him
to "brush up on the material." With a small budget as the result of
establishing his new practice, Des Meules was able to "pick and
choose" the programs he preferred through MBA On Demand.
"In this virtual age, people do not want, nor do they need, to
leave their offices to have access to services such as information,
education and networking. This is the beauty of MBA on Demand,"
said MBA Education Co-Chair Marsha V. Kazarosian. "Not being able
to attend a program in person is no longer an obstacle to
benefiting from a program and its faculty." Kazarosian also notes
that attorneys from mandatory CLE states, like neighboring New
Hampshire, now have another option for satisfying credit
requirements.
MBA seminars, conferences and roundtables available via MBA On
Demand are accompanied by a video camera icon in the MBA's CLE
monthly brochures and on the MBA Web site. Visit
www.massbar.org/ondemand for continually added material available
for purchase.
