Community Relations
The Community Relations committee is comprised of three sub-committees: Community Relations, Bar Liaison and Publicity. The Community Relations sub-committee is responsible for planning and implementing community service activities so that this Chapter can "give back" to the community. The Independence Chapter participates in several events and fundraisers throughout the year. Through the Association of Legal Administrators we have been participating in the Community Challenge weekend event (held in October of each year) since its inception in 1998. The Bar Liaison sub-committee is responsible for fostering a continuing relationship with the Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, and Montgomery County Bar Associations that serve our member firms. In addition, the Chapter partners with the Bar Associations each fall to provide an annual educational event for bar association members and their employees. The Publicity sub-committee is responsible for publicity done for all chapter events and functions including submission of all press releases to county law reporters and local newspapers. In addition, a member of the publicity committee will take photographs at chapter events.

Vendor Relations
The Vendor Relations committee is comprised of two sub-committees: Business Partners Committee and The Delaware Valley Legal Expo Committee. The intention of the Business Partners Committee is to build and further develop professional relationships between business partners and Chapter members. Through the commitment of financial support from our business partners, we are able to provide educational, social and networking events throughout the year. All who participate in these quality meetings gain insight to the legal industry in the area and are kept aware and up-to-date of product trends for the future. It is definitely a Win/Win situation. The Independence Chapter cannot do it without our Business Partners!
The Delaware Valley Legal Expo Committee works in conjunction with the Montgomery Bar Association. The Delaware Valley Legal Expo is a landmark event which provides the opportunity to network with business partners and peers and to witness the latest and greatest products and services available to the legal community. This perennial favorite has been referred to as "the one yearly event where the entire legal community can congregate, share ideas and gain knowledge and information necessary for running a large firm or a small/solo practice efficiently and effectively." Attorneys, managing partners, law office administrators and staff are encouraged to attend.
