UNAA PROGRAMS
MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS:

We have entered into a partnership with the Law Office of Rachel N. Sampong as a Partner UNAA Lawyer to provide these services. The areas of expertise to consult about are: Family Law, Immigration Law, Personal Injury and General Litigation. Members who live in the Minneapolis area can have their sessions in person. Those members that do not live in the twin cities can do their sessions via the phone.
FREE LEGAL SERVICE:
The United States is a country of laws but many of our community members have fallen prey to legal action based of here-say and rumors about how things should be done. We realized that we needed to provide every UNAA Member in need with readily available legal expertise and help. As the number one UNAA Benefit as part of our Member Benefit expansion program (MBE), every UNAA Member in Good standing as of today qualifies for 1 Free 30 min legal consultation session each two months from an accomplished Lawyer participating in this program. This session per 2 months is only Free for UNAA members, the rest of the UNAA community can either pay a fee for the sessions or become members to access the sessions free. This benefit is for a full year and the member will qualify to a maximum of 6 free sessions.

UNAA Members will not have to line up to retrieve their registration material at our events. What is going to happen when a member arrives at registration, they will just pick up a program book at a members desk and leave. They will only need to update their picture if the picture is defective but otherwise they will be processed before hand to be able to get in and get out a quickly as they can without any waiting in line. That is the members express checkin.
