We hope this message finds you and your families healthy and safe. We thank you again for your generous support of APAWLA’s 2020 Annual Installation Dinner, which was originally scheduled for April 2, 2020. We would like to announce that our dinner has been rescheduled to Thursday, September 10, 2020 at the Music Center.
For guests that have already purchased tickets, your ticket will be automatically applied to the new date. If you are no longer able to attend, please contact us as at apawlaevents@gmail.com for a refund of any amounts already paid to APAWLA. Alternatively, you can choose to donate the funds to APAWLA. Any donations will be used to support APAWLA’s mission to promote the inclusion, empowerment, and advancement of Asian Pacific American women in the legal profession.
We are deeply grateful to our guests and sponsors for your continued support and hope to see everyone at our dinner on September 10.
Our hearts are with you, our community, and we look forward to being together again soon.
We cannot express how thankful we are for your generous support of APAWLA’s 2020 Annual Installation Dinner, which was scheduled for April 2, 2020.
In light of the daily evolving COVID-19 public health concerns, and in line with state and local advisements, the APAWLA board has decided to postpone our installation dinner until the fall. We are working with the Music Center to determine a new date and will make another announcement as soon as that date is confirmed. At that time, our guests will have the option to (A) attend our dinner on the new scheduled date or (B) request a refund for any amounts already paid to APAWLA. We are deeply grateful to our guests and sponsors for their continued support and hope to see everyone at our dinner on the new date.
We wish everyone the best during this trying time and we look forward to being together in the fall.
APAWLA is no longer participating in the Women’s March Los Angeles on Saturday, January 18. The exclusion of groups, such as Black Lives Matter—Los Angeles, from the event is not in line with our organizational values to promote inclusion and diversity.
