About ALICMembership Benefits
Scholarship
The principal benefit of Association membership is the high quality of the scholarship opportunities. ALIC is unique in its focus on the life insurance bar and in the quality of the scholarship devoted to topics of particular interest to lawyers advising life insurers. The programs at the Annual Meetings in May are presented by leaders in their fields. Some of the papers presented serve attendees as ALIC Blue Book 2009–2010 13 resources for years. The programs combine plenary sessions featuring presentations of interest to all life insurance counsel with breakout sessions presented separately or sometimes on a combined basis by the various sections: Regulatory, Tax, Corporate, Securities, Litigation and Investment. Some Annual Meetings have also featured presentations on legal ethics. CLE credit is available for the presentations.
Fellowship
Another important benefit of membership is the fellowship with other members.
Athletic and Social Activities. Reflecting ALIC’s unique blending of fellowship with scholarship, Annual Meetings include athletic activities such as golf, tennis, croquet, beach volleyball and skeet shooting as well as tours, receptions and a dinner dance.
Spouse Involvement. Spouses and guests are welcome at Annual Meetings and many attend. They are included in all athletic and social events, and additional optional activities are scheduled while members are attending professional and business meetings.
New Members Reception. The Billy Shands New Members Reception is held at 5:00 p.m. Sunday, immediately preceding the general welcome reception at 5:30 p.m. This reception gives new members an opportunity to meet other new members as well as the Board members and Officers of the Association. Billy Shands is one of our Emeritus Members and the 2000 recipient of the Buist M. Anderson Distinguished Service Award. We named this reception after Billy because no one better exemplifies the collegiality of the organization.
