GREATER ORLANDO ASIAN AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION

ANNOUNCES NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

(ORLANDO, FLORIDA) –The Greater Orlando Asian American Bar Association (GOAABA) has announced its inaugural Board of Directors for 2010-2011:

Officers
Glenn R. Leong, President
Jessica Hew, President-Elect
Donna Hung, Treasurer
Kim Nguyen, Secretary

At-Large Directors & Committee Chairs
Lisa Gong (Chair, Social/Networking Committee)
Sunny Hillary (Chair, Communications Committee)
Robert Q. Lee (Chair, Professionalism/CLE Committee)
Angela Miller (Chair, Membership Committee)
Christy Nash (Chair, Community Service Committee)

GOAABA is a voluntary, non-profit legal association, which was incorporated in October, 2009.  Membership is open to licensed attorneys, law students and members of the judiciary, regardless of ethnic, national, geographic, racial or religious origins.

 

President Glenn Leong stated, "As a new voluntary bar association, we look forward to serving the Greater Orlando community and those members of our ethnic neighborhoods whose legal needs might be underserved.  Asians and Asian-Americans in the Orlando area represent 3.8% of the population.  But we don’t believe their legal needs are being adequately met.  Our group of voluntary attorneys can help to bridge that gap in legal services.”

 

Many members of the public are hesitant to speak to a lawyer because of language, cultural, or institutional barriers.

 

The purposes of GOAABA are to:

 

* Represent and advocate the interests of the Asian community of the Greater Orlando region; 

 

* Encourage and promote the professional growth of the members of the Association;

 

* Serve as a legal bridge between Asian and Asian-American communities and the Greater Orlando region;

 

* Act as an information resource for all.

 

GOAABA is affiliated with the National Asian Pacific Bar Association (NAPABA), which is headquartered in Washington, D.C.  GOAABA is the fourth affiliated chapter in Florida.   The NAPABA Board will be meeting in Orlando in February, 2010, and GOAABA members look forward to welcoming the Board and its national representatives from all regions of the United States upon their arrival.

 

Leong stated, "With the dramatic population growth of our local Asian and Pacific Islander communities, our attorney members decided that now is the right time to set up shop, and to see how we can help not just our local communities, but the Greater Orlando region as well."

 

"We are excited to align ourselves with the national organization.  GOAABA will be highly autonomous, so we consider our affiliation to be a mutual partnership.  And as you know, a good partnership has a multiplier effect in whatever we do.  So we all benefit, and the community wins."
