MEMBERSHIP The Executive Committee in January approved the organ
ization and Plan of the Membership Committee. That Committee will be composed of one member from each of the eleven membership districts into which the states and territo ries have been divided, together with the former Presidents of the Association, who will serve as an Advisory Committee. The organization provides for District Directors, State Directors and County Advisers, thus covering the field fully. County Advisers are entrusted with the important task of preparing a list of members of the bar in their counties who would be desirable recruits and, after the names receive the proper approval, of securing their applications. The project is important and will no doubt enlist the enthusiastic co operation of the members of the Association.
