 Thank you for coming to the AABANY 2017 Annual Dinner: Take Charge | Lead Change on Feb. 22, 2017!
This year was an exceptionally inspiring year for us, and we're glad that you were a part of the evening. We were proud to honor Attorney General for the State of New York Eric Schneiderman, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President of Gibson Brands Lee Cheng, and Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York Marilyn Go.
Thank you to all the sponsors of the evening, everyone who worked to make the dinner a success, especially President-Elect Dwight Yoo, and each and every person who made it out to our best dressed event of the night.
Check out the highlights here. Courtesy of AABANY First Man Rob Shin, we also have a video of President Susan Shin's speech. More photos coming this week on our Facebook page -- stay tuned!
