Please join us, FALA New York, SABANY, NACAL, and NYU's APALSA on February 27, 2025 for a Fireside Chat with Bethany Li, Executive Director of the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), moderated by Vishal Chander, Esq., Principal of The Chander Law Firm, P.C.

During this conversation, we will learn about Bethany Li’s commitment to community lawyering, the history and legacy of AALDEF, the strategic direction and growth for AALDEF, and the evolving partnerships between AALDEF and the APA bar.

Founded in 1974, AALDEF has spent five decades championing social justice issues affecting Asian Americans through litigation, advocacy, community education, and policy initiatives. 2024 marked the 50th Anniversary of AALDEF and the appointment of Bethany Li as Executive Director of the organization.

The conversation will include time for networking and hors d’oeuvres.
