The 9th Conference

Location: San Francisco

The Theme: Building a Bridge to Influence

The conference theme, Building a Bridge to Influence, focuses on ways that South Asians in the legal community can increase the influence of the larger South Asian community in North America. At this time in our community’s growth, increasing our influence is essential to correct commonly held misconceptions of South Asians, as well as educate others to combat the prevalent but often subtle racism our community encounters
