For additional information on dues structures and limited membership options, please visit the LMA national site at www.legalmarketing.org and click on "Membership Information” or feel free to contact LMA-SC’s Membership Chair, Barbara Mencer.

Dues help offset the costs of educational programs, special member receptions and on-going website maintenance. In addition to the annual dues, the Chapter charges a nominal fee for each program (approximately $25 for members; $40 for non-members) to help offset the costs of the speakers. If you RSVP for a program and do not cancel within 48 hours prior to the meeting date, LMA-SC will invoice you for the missed program.

For questions regarding membership, please contact LMA-SC’s Membership Chair, Barbara Mencer.

We look forward to seeing you!
