President's Message


Happy New Year to the members of the Hmong American Bar Association!  We are hitting the ground running with event planning and CLEs that you can look forward to in the coming year. I am excited to work with the new board as we raise the bar on how HABA can help you.  It starts with this newsletter so that we can get the word out to you in the quickest and most efficient way possible. We're teaming up with MNAPABA, VLN, and HAP to reboot our legal clinic for self-represented litigants. Next month, we will be having a CLE and social. Do not ever hesitate to contact me or a member of the board if you have an issue you need help with or questions, comments and concerns for HABA.   Stay tuned and we look forward to your participation!
