Become a member of PANV

Gov. Ralph Northam has officially recognized October 1-6, 2018 as PARALEGALS' WEEK in the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Enjoy the recognition we work so hard to achieve!!!  

On June 6, at PANV's Annual Meeting, Pamela Bass, AACP, VARP became the winner of PANV's first Paralegal Certification Scholarship. Pamela's scholarship will cover the costs for her to sit for the Paralegal Advanced Competency Exam (“PACE”). Congratulations Pamela! Let the studying begin - PANV will be here to support you through the whole process!

PANV thanks our wonderful judges, Ann Hodges, PACE Emeritus and PANV member, and Attorney Maria Coyle, for their time and effort in evaluating each of the candidate's applications submitted for the Paralegal Certification Scholarship.

PANV also wants to congratulate another member, Cherith Kennedy, who was named the 2018 Pro Bono Paralegal of the Year, for her work at Legal Services of Northern Virginia. Cherith received her award at the Annual Northern Virginia Pro Bono Reception on June 7, 2018, at the Fairfax County Courthouse. Congratulations Cherith!
