AABANY Co-Sponsors: Annual Pre-Holiday Multi-Association Gathering
AABANY is excited to share that it will be sponsoring its 3rd Annual Pre-Holiday Multi-Association Gathering on Tuesday, November 11 at 6:00 p.m. There will be a Potluck Dinner and CLE Program* on Wellness Resources. The New York City Bar Association will be hosting, and they are located at 42 W 44th Street, New York, NY 10036.
Recognizing that the holidays can be challenging for many, the CLE Program will provide information on various resources, such as the Lawyers Assistance Program. Co-sponsoring organizations to the event will bring in a popular/cultural food selection (or two!) to the potluck.
Because the event is happening on Veteran’s Day this year, we are excited to include in the CLE programming a Fireside Chat on attorney wellness, featuring Amos Kim, Co-Chair of AABANY’s Military and Veteran Affairs Committee, and Austin Cheng, a fellow veteran and attorney who is the Chief Executive Officer at Gramercy Surgery Center.
