NYACP Monthly Pod Programs

You must be a NYACP Member to participate in these meetings, but all members are invited to any Pod Meeting. Pod meetings bring together collaborative professionals from all three disciplines for small group presentations and discussions.  Each month, a different speaker or presenter is invited or a conversation topic will be introduced to provide education and networking opportunities for our members.

If you are a NYACP membervlooking to expand your connections with your collaborative colleagues, join us for our bi-monthly meet ups for lunch, coffee, or drinks after work. The NYACP Membership Committee organizes gatherings in Westchester, Long Island and Manhattan to offer an easy way to get to know your collaborative counterparts better with a simple RSVP.  These small group (eight person) meet ups offer a wonderful opportunity to connect with collaborative colleagues you might not already know, share experiences and insights, and learn more about one another both personally and professionally.

Invitations are sent out for each scheduled meet up, and the first eight NYACP members to register will reserve a spot at the designated time and location. NYACP Members may register a guest interested in Collaborative Divorce to attend with them as an introduction to our organization (as space allows). Watch for the next Collaborative Connection event or check the NYACP calendar, and don’t miss this truly enjoyable opportunity to connect with your peers and get more involved in the NYACP.  


Financial Aid Policy 

The New York Association of Collaborative Professionals (NYACP) provides tuition assistance for New York attorneys who wish to attend NYACP CLE courses.  In response to written requests for financial assistance received by NYACP 10 days prior to the start date of the program, we permit the attorney to attend the program under the following guidelines: 

  • Unemployed with no other source of income: Fee waiver (excluding cost of materials, location charge*, and food)
  • Income up to  $35,000: 50% discount  (excluding cost of materials, location charge* and food)
  • Income up to  $35,000 to $50,000:  35% discount (excluding cost of materials, location charge* and food)
  • Income above $50,000:  No discount
  • Attorneys in public service: 30%  (excluding cost of materials, location charge*, and food)

Attorneys must include in their request an Affirmation of their financial status.

As a small, member supported organization, NYACP will, to the extent possible, work with others in need of financial assistance and unemployed attorneys who are unable to pay for materials and food on a case by case basis. 

For further information, please contact [email protected].

*A  "location charge" is a per person head charge on top of the venue charge that some venues impose - particularly if the venue is not providing food/drink.
