We are thrilled to announce that we have been nominated for three more membership sector awards - for our magazine, our paralegal conference and mentoring programme. 📰 CITMA Review magazine has undergone a digital transformation, making complex subject matter more accessible and engaging. This has resulted in a 92% increase in page views and a 59% increase in unique users from 2022 to 2023. 🎤 Our inaugural CITMA Paralegal Conference provided a full day of tailored content and networking opportunities for this growing segment of our membership. The success of this event has led to its expansion for 2024, with the upcoming conference set to take place at the prestigious BMA House in London. 💥 Our mentoring programme, launched in October 2023, has already connected over 100 members in mentoring relationships, fostering valuable knowledge-sharing across experience levels within our community.
