Dear Buncombe Bar Members,
|
As a reminder of how our Buncombe Bar works financially, member dues are mandated by the NC Bar for all attorneys listed as active with them and registered in the 40th Judicial District. We have just received the list of those to invoice from the NC Bar and are working to get member portals updated with dues owed at this time.
|
|
Please take this opportunity to log into your portal and ensure your membership information is listed accurately. The membership directory on our website offers a great opportunity to market your services, so click here to see how you are currently listed and log in to your portal to make changes as needed.
