Do you belong to an Association of Professional Process
Servers? If not, why not? There are several possibilities: NAPPS (National Association
of Professional Process Servers) provides a directory of 11 chartered state
associations and 10 non chartered state associations on their NAPPS website.
You may also wish to join (IPSA) International Process Servers Association
and/or the United States Process Servers Association (USPSA). Research the
association(s) of interest to see which one will best serve your needs and to
ascertain your eligibility requirements.
We belong to the National Association of Professional
Process Servers, a national association. It is an excellent conduit for
obtaining assignments from other process servers and law firms, especially from
those outside your city or state. There are many excellent benefits of
membership. The NAPPS is very affordable to join, provided you are eligible,
and the return on your investment is sometimes ten to twenty times what you put
into it.
The state associations operate similar to NAPPS in terms
of representing the interests of their members; some of them work hard to lobby
their interests with the state legislature or county governments, and educate
members on how to serve process or pass along important information about
changes or events within the industry. Just like NAPPS, the local
association can be a good way to network with other servers in other parts of
your state so that if they have a court document that needs to be served in
your city, they may call you to serve it for them rather than drive across the
state to serve it themselves, as you may do for them likewise.
