A MESSAGE TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE CNMI BAR ASSOCIATION

 

In accordance with Article Six, Section 3 of the Bylaws of the Northern Marianas Bar Association, notice is hereby given that your annual membership fees for fiscal year 2024 are due by Tuesday, January 2, 2024.

Article Six, Section 1, with reference to annual membership fees, is included below for your reference:

A. Active, Temporary and Inactive Members. Annual fees are determined based on active, temporary, or inactive status:
Active/Temporary    $250.00
Inactive        $150.00
B. Earmarking of Fees. Twenty-five dollars ($25.00) of each member’s paid membership fees shall be donated by the Bar Association to the Marianas Office of Micronesian Legal Services to support legal services to the indigent in the CNMI. Provided that no such donation shall be made for a member paying a pro-rated amount for first annual membership.

Please be advised that this notice is posted solely as a courtesy to you; failure to receive this notice shall not excuse the non-payment of membership fees by a member by January 2, 2024.

Please make your check payable to CNMI Bar Association and mail it to the address above shown. Credit card payments and online payments are not currently accepted. Office pickups are no longer available. Please do not send cash through the mail. A Membership Form is attached for your convenience and must be filled out completely. Please note that a Certificate of Good Standing is required if you are changing your status from inactive to active. 

 

Please also note that each attorney is individually responsible for timely payment. If your dues are being paid by a government agency and the payment is not timely received, you may still be subject to late payment fees and other penalties. Failure to timely pay may result in suspension as specified in the Bylaws.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Respectfully,

Charity Hodson
President
