On February 4, 2024, the Michigan Notary Association held their first of many in person workshops for Michigan notaries. It was an engaging networking and training meeting that brought together notaries from across the state.
The meetings are open to all Michigan notaries and were attended by both dedicated MINA members and five non-members, including one individual not commissioned as a notary.
Additionally, three other attendees, who were simply overhearing the meeting, expressed interest in joining the association and becoming notaries themselves. The event showcased the importance and the significance of networking to scale up one’s notary business.
“Leslie is famous” - At every event where mobile notary is mentioned, people say “you need to talk to Leslie Hocker”. It serves as a reminder that building connections within the industry can lead to professional growth and opportunities. At the event, Leslie explained that she has built her business on networking, not on paid advertising. She is on her fourth year as a mobile notary, building a team of notaries across the state, helping them grow, referring to them when she isn’t available for a job requested, and using other notaries as witnesses so they can gain some visual hands-on experience.
Members were provided with valuable information from the co-founders, Deborah Lowery and Leslie Hocker, on the resources available to them through MINA, emphasizing the support and benefits that come with being a part of the association.
A few real-life role plays were performed, as well as training on how to fill out the notarial block. As conversations flowed and ideas were exchanged, it became evident that the Michigan Notary Association is not just a gathering of professionals but a community that fosters learning, collaboration, and advancement in the field. This meeting was a testament to the power of networking, training, and the shared passion for notarial work that unites members of the association and beyond.
