We plan to celebrate the 30th anniversary of AABANY’s founding at the NAPABA National Convetion in Austin, Texas, in November. We also announced at the Northeast Regional/Fall Conference that AABANY will be receiving the Affiliate of the Year Award at the convention. We now have another great reason to celebrate, so we hope all AABANY members are making plans to join us in Austin in November. To facilitate communicating with each other in Austin, Membership Director Beatrice Leong has started a WhatsApp group, and to join it, we ask that you email us your name and phone number, so that we can get you added to the WhatsApp group. Send the email to main@aabany.org and we will pass along the information to Beatrice. Hope to you can come celebrate with us in Austin!

Liu, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Risk Officer of Target Corporation. The Program will also provide assistance in career development, including identifying potential internships.

| AABANY’s Issues Committee is pleased to invite you to join the newly formed AABANY Community Response Task Force! The Community Response Task Force (CRTF) is AABANY’s answer to the rapidly changing legal landscape and the need for quick, effective, and coordinated responses to the emergent issues that affect our communities. AABANY is firmly committed to being a strong voice and steadfast advocate on behalf of the Asian-American/Pacific-Islander community. In the past several months, we have all been witness to sweeping changes that necessitated powerful legal responses. While there have been some great triumphs, there were often times when it was difficult to obtain information, to find ways to contribute, or to organize a response quickly enough to be effective.
The CRTF is specifically designed to address these needs. The CRTF will serve as a central clearinghouse for information and coordination – tailoring the alerts sent to each volunteer based on that volunteer’s preferences and the needs of the community. Alerts and actions will range from emergency legal services to direct non-legal service actions and from workshops to rallies. Read more here.
