Thank you to all those who charted new frontiers with us at Cipriani Wall Street on February 25, 2015. With moving words from each of our amazing honorees, the joy of announcing the inaugural Don Liu Scholarship award recipients, laughter, tears, and not to mention delicious food, our 2015 Annual Dinner was truly a night to remember.
When: March 5, 6:30pm-9pm
Where: White & Case LLP (1155 Avenue of Americas)
The Asian Affinity Group and the New York Women's Network at White & Case LLP, the Asian American Bar Association of New York and the Asian American Law Fund of New York, Inc. invite you to join us for a screening of Kicking Glass: Two Decades and Counting.
Kicking Glass: Two Decades and Counting is a follow-up program to a video produced by White & Case that was first presented by AABANY at the 1995 NAPABA Convention. In the 1995 video, APA women lawyers discussed the hurdles they faced, the successes they achieved, and what success meant to them. InKicking Glass: Two Decades and Counting, we revisit these important questions with an updated video and a panel discussion, featuring women from the 1995 video and a new group of women. Together, we examine whether APA women attorneys have finally broken the glass ceiling, identify what challenges remain, and explore real-world solutions for such challenges.
The deadline to RSVP is extended to March 3. If you wish to attend, kindly RSVP to diversity@whitecase.com.
EDIT (Mar. 5, 2015 at 3:39pm): Due to the inclement weather, the March 5 presentation of "Kicking Glass: Two Decades and Counting" has been postponed to a date TBD. Thank you to all who registered, and we look forward to seeing you at the rescheduled date. Stay warm and safe everyone!
