ISBA Membership Survey

The Iowa State Bar Association is surveying its members to determine how well the association is meeting its members’ needs and where we can improve or change.

The survey consists of 20 short questions and should take less than 5 minutes. Each member who returns a completed survey will be automatically entered into a drawing for great prizes: free ISBA CLE, Manuals, and other prizes.

The tabulated survey results and prize winners will be announced in The Iowa Lawyer.

The responses you submit will be confidential. However to be eligible for prizes you must provide name and email address at completion of survey.

Mark your Calendar for the 65th Annual Tax School December 8-10

The Taxation Section of the ISBA invites you to attend the 65th Annual Orville Bloethe Tax School on December 8-10. Come learn about the new tax laws passed by Congress, and find new ways to save your clients' tax dollars. We're focusing on providing things for you to take home and use immediately in your practice this year, as well as providing access to most of the tax software programs on the market so that you can try them yourself in our hands-on cybercafe.
