New President!

Dan Burns, our new NYSCDM President

Hi everyone,

Please join me in welcoming our terrific new NYSCDM President, Dan Burns. We look forward to achieving great things for the Council under his watch. I'd also like to take this opportunity to say thanks so much to Rod Wells who did so much and devoted himself so tirelessly to the Council during his term as President...... a job well done, kudos to Rod!

NEW- The DivorceNet® Connection!

Hi guys,

The NYSCDM has recently made a great arrangement with DivorceNet®, and it's a real win-win for both. As part of our new relationship with DivorceNet®, our members will get a substantial discount if they wish to secure a listing, and of course DivorceNet® will pick up more business.

DivorceNet® is the Internet's largest divorce resource; it is an online community and a nationwide directory of divorce lawyers, mediators and financial professionals. If you do a Google search for "divorce", DivorceNet® now comes up second, (the first being the Wikipedia definition of the word divorce!) NYSCDM now has a listing on DivorceNet® that will show up in statewide search of New York, i.e. if you do a search in any area code or zip code in NY State, our listing appears. To view our new page on DivorceNet® click here.

Now you can get your own personal listing in your own local area, which will help people more easily find you when doing a search on the Internet. If you're interested, please contact Catherine Knauer, our Account Executive at DivorceNet®. Tel: 800-980-9771 ext 161.

Best to all,
Al Frankel
