New Members are the Section’s lifeblood.  The Commercial and Federal Litigation Section is proud to include over 2,400 talented and energetic members who have enabled the Section to earn an important role in the development of commercial law and practice, as well as an influential voice in the Association as a whole. The mission of the Membership Committee is to maintain a healthy level of membership growth, to retain and motivate existing members who may have become less active in the Section, and to improve the diversity our membership. We seek to:

• Increase the numbers of active members coming from all geographic regions of the State, as well as members with out-of-state practices who are interested in commercial litigation in New York;
  
• Involve in the Section lawyers and public officials from many different types of organizations, in both the private sector and government, that work together in making New York the preeminent forum for commercial litigation; and
  
• Ensure that our active members include individuals whose demographic backgrounds, practice settings and interests are as diverse as the larger community in which we live and work.

The Membership Committee is co-chaired by Nicole F. Mastropieri, Nixon Peabody LLP, New York City nmastropieri@nixonpeabody.com and Anna Park, Zeichner Ellman & Krause LLP, New York City apark@zeklaw.com .
