The Asian Pacific American Bar Association Educational Fund (AEF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is exclusively focused on charitable and educational activities for Asian Pacific American law students in the Greater Washington, D.C. area. We are looking for passionate people who want to get more involved with the Asian Pacific American community and bring together minority law students and attorneys in the area. Directorship is a great way to meet new people, work closely with fellow directors, and connect with members of the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of the Greater Washington, D.C. Area (APABA-DC) and other diverse bar associations.
