Thank you to those that attended the Special Meeting to vote for the Bylaw Amendments, and to those that send in their proxy ballots.  We are pleased to announce that all of the proposed amendments passed.  You can find a copy of the updated bylaws in the Forms section of the website.

The Board of Directors would like to call a Special Meeting in conjunction with the New Castle County Holiday Luncheon in order to amend the current DPA Bylaws.  A redline of the Proposed Bylaws, as well as an Explanation of Changes, are available in the Forms section of the website.  The Notice of Special Meeting and the Proxy ballot are also in the Forms section.  For full voting members that are not able to attend in person, you must submit your proxy no later than 2:00 p.m. on December 14, 2017. 

Please feel free to contact Heidi Coleman, the DPA Secretary, if you have any questions or concerns prior to the special meeting.

Please join me in congratulating our very own Heidi Coleman (DPA Secretary) for being the 2017 recipient of the Christopher W. White Access to Justice Award.  We should all feel proud that once again DPA’s dedication and  commitment to pro bono work has opened doors for another paralegal.  Heidi will be recognized at an award ceremony and breakfast on Thursday, October 26, 2017 at 8:00 a.m. at the Chase Center.  Congratulations Heidi!
