NETWORKING:
As a member of PCLNA, you have a network to call upon for
assistance and the opportunity to participate in voluntary
continuing education that ensures your success as a
professional. These meetings, held monthly include
both educational, networking and social times, to allow you
to interact with other Notaries in our city.
-
ONLINE MEMBERS DIRECTORY
Your listing in our online members directory is included
with your membership and remains active for as long as your
membership is active. Members can choose whether or
not to be in the public directory on this website, but for
those that choose to be listed, this is a tool for the
public to locate a notary near them and we expect your
notary business to increase as a result of being listed in
the public directory. Each member has their own login
and password and can maintain their own listing directly.
-
PRIVATE YAHOO DISCUSSION
GROUP
Members have the option to participate in a
private, Member's Only Yahoo discussion group where members
share ideas, ask questions and learn from one another. This
is an extension of the networking opportunities that are
available and provide our out of town members the ability to
participate as well.
-
NOTARY LAW UPDATES:
Stay informed on current and changing legislature affecting
notaries. Hundreds of laws are passed each session and
it can be overwhelming for an individual person to keep
track of all the changes, but as a group we have had great
success. You can be a part of this with your
membership and assist in guarding the Notary heritage
regarding legislature directly affecting the regulation of
the Civil Law Notary.
-
TRAINING AND REFERENCE
MATERIALS
Although we expect some form of mandatory continuing
education act to be passed at some point, currently it is
entirely up the each notary to maintain their own training.
It's unprofessional and dangerous to act as a notary about
matters that you have limited or no knowledge and the goal
of our association s to provide training and reference
materials. Each monthly meeting typically offers a training
speaker that provides a learning experience beyond what you
might find on your own. Our speakers have specific
knowledge and experience in their subject matter.
-
FORM LIBRARY ONLINE:
Access to our form library online. Your membership entitles
you to login and download forms from any computer connected
to the internet in word format. Modify and change them
as you need. All you need is your member's login to
access the Form Library.
-
PROFESSIONAL CODE OF ETHICS
AND STANDARDS
As a member of the PCLNA, you've agreed to conduct your
notary transactions under a higher standard and that further
legitimizes your work as a notary. Membership means
something!

MARKETING ADVANTAGES
Our website has a high placement in the Google search
results when someone seeks to find a notary public in
Louisiana. With improvements and optimization, we
expect this to climb even higher and members that are
included in the online member's directory can expect to have
greater marketing placements as a result of their
membership. Our "FIND A NOTARY" search form provides
the web visitor with a way to find a notary close to them.
