NAPABA Conference

In November 2012, Washington, D.C., will host the 24th Annual NAPABA Convention.  With a theme of Reaching Monumental Heights, the Convention will celebrate how far Asian Pacific Americans have progressed in their quest for advancement and how Asian Pacific American attorneys have contributed to and embodied that progress. Where once our efforts revolved around ensuring basic civil rights, they have now evolved to include succeeding at the highest levels in law, politics, and business. These are some of the Convention highlights.
