We’re not sure that congratulations should really be too expansive considering they have a pretty huge database of names to contact and persuade people to join for free…
…..on the other hand we will congratulate them on the fact that to celebrate this milestone they say that LexisNexis will donate $10,000 to selected charities and nonprofit organizations chosen by Martindale-Hubbell Connected Alliance Partners and that? all Martindale-Hubbell Connected members will have the opportunity to vote via online poll as to where they’d like to see the funds donated, subject to the charity donation rules posted online. Voting closes on August 14. The winning organizations will receive a share of the $10,000 donation in proportion to the number of votes they receive.
