  Mentorship program. The Path to Partnership Program includes a Mentorship program for senior associates (senior associates are those who are 1-3 years away from partnership consideration at their firm).  Senior associates will be matched with a volunteer Mentor-Partner for one-on-one mentorship.  AALAM will provide opportunities for mentors and mentees to meet (either in person or virtually).

  Interested?  Use this link to sign up as a Senior Associate-mentee or volunteer as a Partner-Mentor.  Please sign up by September 1, 2024 so we can pair the mentees and mentors and announce the pairings prior to the Kick Off event in September. Our hope is that if you sign up to be a Senior Associate-mentee or a Partner-mentor, you will be able to attend the Kick Off to meet the person you are paired with.

  AALAM is delighted to invite you to join us on Wednesday, October 16, 2024 for AALAM’s 40th Anniversary Gala, beginning at 5:30 pm at the Westin Copley Place (10 Huntington Avenue, Boston). 

  For the first time in many years, we will be relocating our annual celebration from Boston’s Chinatown to a new location to more fully accommodate the incredible growth in our membership and presence as well as honor our organization’s many decades in advancing the Asian American and Pacific Islander (“AAPI”) legal community in Massachusetts. We are proud to celebrate AALAM’s legacy and the commitment and achievement of so many of our members.
  

  As a special feature to commemorate AALAM’s 40-year history, we will welcome guest presenters from each of the past four decades of AALAM to share their experiences as important contributors to the continuing success of the AAPI legal community. 

  Our event will also recognize the contributions of many who help further AALAM’s mission to serve our community by presenting the 2024 AALAM Founders Award to Connie Wong of the Boston Fire Department, the 2024 AALAM Community Service Award to Emily Yu of BioMed Realty, and the 2024 AALAM Ally of the Year Award to Holland & Knight LLP. We will also be recognizing the recipient of the 27th Annual AALAM and Dow Fund Scholarship Award. 

  We hope that you will join us for this evening of celebration and support of your fellow practitioners.

  In case of any questions and/or cancellations and/or if you have any dietary restrictions, email aalamgala2024@gmail.com!
