MEMBERSHIP ENTITLEMENTS

GENERAL MEMBERSHIP

Upon acceptance into ACJA-LAE, members receive:

Membership Certificate - that is frameable and printed on parchment paper. It contains the member's name; the association's logo and seal; the date of acceptance; and the approval of acceptance by the signatures of the National President and the Executive Secretary.

ACJA-LAE Sticker - to be placed on books, cars, etc.

National Journals and Newsletters - distributed to each active member. The publications contain articles and manuscripts related to the criminal justice field; synopses of released publications in the criminal justice field; association activities at the National, Regional, and Chapter levels; and accomplishments and news of individual members.

Job Information - The association has found the best source of job information to be on the Internet.  It is impossible to keep up with employment information and "job banks" that are available throughout the United States in the criminal justice field.  We have noted many sites on our "Other Links of Interest" page that list job information.  The Association also holds a "Job Fair" at each National Conference for those members looking for employment.
