RE: March RADS Meeting - Minutes

The March RADS meeting was held at the Silver Room in the Quadrangle on Thursday, March 15, 2001. Thanks to Jim Lee for hosting the meeting and to his catering company, Gourmet Dallas for providing the lunch.

VENDOR DAY RECAP

Thanks to all who attended this year’s Vendor Day at Cityplace. A very special thanks to Brandy Barbour for her help in coordinating it. If you have any comments or helpful suggestions for next year, please contact Brandy at (214) 651-5721. I think we have decided not to have it at Cityplace next year because of the restrictions and fees that were incurred this year.

NALP PARTY

Our annual NALP party for the Texas Law School Career personnel is going to be held on Thrsday, May 3. We have reserved an outside area (East Point Cabana) from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. We will be serving food and drinks. We have included the Houston, Austin, and San Antonio firms to participate in this party as well. This is a great opportunity to get to know all the Career Services people, as well as other recruiters from other cities. Hope to see you all there!

WEB SITE

The web site is ready to launch!!! Jayme Brassell’s husband, Chris is going to unveil it for all of us to see at the next RADS meeting on April 19. Remember, if you have any ideas or suggestions, let Jayme know so we can incorporate them into the site!

HOLIDAY PARTY

I know, it seems like we just had the holiday party! But, in order to be ready for this year's party, we need to start planning now. We need location ideas! Put your thinking caps on and if you come up with any bright ideas, please contact Jayme Brassell at (214) 746-7722.

RADS T-SHIRTS

The RADS T-Shirts are a go. We have decided that the first half firms are going to purchase them for the clerks. The shirts are going to cost about $5.00/shirt. We are still in need of ideas for the Top 10 Reasons to Live, Work, and Play in Dallas. We are doing a mixture of both funny and important facts, so please contribute your ideas!!! Kelly Mixon has a list of the firms that wish to participate. If you want to make sure you are on the list or you want to be added, or have an idea, please contact Kelly at (214) 651-4789.

SALARY SURVEY

Allison Whitfield has researched the cost of doing a Dallas Recruiters Salary Survey and it looks like it would cost us about $700. The outside source would gather the information and compile it for us. If we decide not to go with an outside source, it would have be done internally and anonymously. We would appreciate any thoughts on this subject. Where do we go from here? Do we want to proceed with this? Or hold off until we have a more definite consensus? Please share you thoughts with Allison at (214) 758-3563.

UT CAREER SERVICES

The UT Career Services will be coming to Dallas to discuss Fall recruiting and working with the Career Services Staff. This event will not be held during the April RADS meeting, rather it will be on April 5 at Baker Botts (2001 Ross Avenue, Suite 700) at 12:00 noon. If you wish to attend this meeting, please call me and let me know (214) 969-4647.

ABC’s OF RECRUITING

Carolyn Wehmann has agreed to conduct a seminar on the ABC’s of Recruiting for the RADS group. Anyone can participate in this informative session. Carolyn is known for her recruiting seminars every year at the NALP conferences. This is a great opportunity for new recruiters or assistants that may not be able to attend the NALP conference to gain some basic knowledge to the ins and outs of recruiting. It is $250 a person for this all day event. It will be held on April 20 at Akin Gump (1700 Pacific Street, Suite 4100). If you wish to participate, please let me know (214) 969-4647.

SPRING HAPPY HOUR
