Speaker Database

Find a Speaker

As you develop your program submission, we encourage you to leverage the strength and depth of NAPABA's networks to identify dynamic, knowledgeable speakers for your panel.

NAPABA's committees, networks, and councils represent a broad range of practice areas, industries, and lived experiences. These communities are excellent resources for identifying established subject matter experts and emerging voices within our membership. 

As you prepare your proposal, consider connecting with:

• The NAPABA Judicial Council - A valuable resource for indentifying judges with diverse subject matter expertise across a wide range of legal issues and practice areas. If you are looking for a judicial officer to serve on your pogram, contact Judget Curtis Kin, California Superior Court at ckin@lacourt.org. 
• NAPABA Committees and Networks - A strong source for practice-area expertise, affinity perspectives, and rising leaders. For questions or to connect with a NAPABA committee or network, contact convention@napaba.org. 
  

Engaging these groups early in your proposal process can strengthen your submission and ensure your panel reflects the depth, diversity and talent across NAPABA's membership.  

Become a Speaker

NAPABA is building a database of moderators and speakers. Lend your knowledge to a CLE panel and raise your professional profile by showcasing your expertise at the largest gathering of AANHPI legal professionals. Should an opening need to be filled in the Convention program, you may be contacted by NAPABA staff or your contact information may be shared with program chairs. Joining the speaker database does not guarantee a speaking role. Speakers will be notified on a rolling basis.

Convention speakers are eligible for complimentary registration for the day of your speaking engagement and speaker CLE credits (varies by jurisdiction). Other benefits of speaking at the NAPABA Convention include:

• building and increasing your brand awareness
• representing your law firm or company as a leading expert in the field
• networking with potential clients and others in your industry
• building credibility as a subject matter expert

Moderators and speakers may not serve on more than one panel, and NAPABA may exercise discretion to add, remove, or substitute speakers.
