2021-22 NAPABA Elections

NAPABA is the nation’s largest Asian Pacific American membership organization representing the interests of over 60,000 attorneys, judges, law professors, law students and nearly 90 national, state, and local Asian Pacific American bar associations. 

The organization continues to grow exponentially—maturity, stature, and staff. The NAPABA Board of Governors is an oversight and governing body committed to the mission and purpose of NAPABA.  The governing Board of 23 and national staff of nine complement and support each other—together focused on NAPABA’s mission through different perspectives and actions. 

NAPABA is committed to having a governing board that reflects the diverse Asian Pacific American legal community and has the right blend of skill, expertise, community connections, and diverse perspectives as a whole. We seek outstanding individuals of high character and integrity with proven leadership and board governance skills and who have demonstrated a strong commitment to NAPABA.

The Nominating and Elections Committee is now accepting nominations for Officer and Director candidates and applications for At-Large Board Member candidates for the 2021-22 NAPABA Board of Governors.
