Sneak Peek: New Member Directory Expanded Profiles
The State Bar of Michigan is providing its members with an opportunity to preview a new member benefit that will give you the tools to enhance your unique online presence through a free expanded member directory profile listing. We will be rolling out this program to the full membership in early January, and invite you to take a sneak peek now to learn about the many features available to you.
Economic pressures and new forms of technology are changing the legal landscape fundamentally and permanently. Increasingly, successful practice requires attorneys to embrace and use technology. That is why the SBM has partnered with the online legal marketplace ZeekBeek to build a full-featured membership directory that makes it easy for you to share information about yourself with the public and your peers, allowing you to get noticed and be found.
New features you can take advantage of include the ability to:
- Create a customized and detailed profile, including a photo
- Share your unique URL and use your profile page as your personal website if you don't currently have one
- Post publications, blogs, and videos
- Build connections with other lawyers
- Map your geolocation
- Facilitate client contact through optional site contact, endorsement, and review features
Information for your expanded profile can be added through the State Bar of Michigan Member Area or from the ZeekBeek site. Your member record will automatically update in both places within seconds. If you belong to a Section, the information you provide will also update automatically in the new SBM Connect. You can also import your LinkedIn profile information through the ZeekBeek portal. All you need to get started is your SBM user name and password. Once you are logged in to the Member Area, select "My Profile" and the "Extended Profile" tab to enter your information and add a photo. You can also access the ZeekBeek site by selecting the link at the bottom of the Extended Profile page or by selecting the "ZeekBeek" logo after first logging in.
Attend a free webinar to learn how to best utilize the new member directory features.
