AABANY Voter Registration Week
AABANY Voter Registration Week
With the 2018 Midterm Elections coming up, AABANY’s Community Response Task Force is focused on encouraging our own community to register and vote. Asian Americans as a whole have one of the lowest voter registration and turnout rates in the United States. CRTF is looking to gauge interest in and organize several voter registration and Get Out The Vote events targeted to our community. Please fill out a very short survey to let us know how you would be most interested in participating. Follow the link in the title.
Podcast: Live Your Dream featuring Michael Kim, co-founder Kobre & Kim
Podcast: Live Your Dream featuring Michael Kim, co-founder Kobre & Kim
Celina Lee’s podcast series provides a window into the unique journeys and experiences of individuals from a wide variety of professions. One of the interviewees for her podcast is Michael Kim, co-founder of Kobre & Kim LLP.
Michael Kim is the co-founder of the law firm, Kobre & Kim. Michael and his partner, Steven Kobre, met when they both worked as Assistant U.S. Attorneys in Manhattan while working on a securities case, which ultimately became the movie, the Boiler Room. They started their law firm at Steven’s apartment kitchen in 2003 and grew it into a global law firm with 10 offices worldwide and over 300 employees. Michael talks about why he decided to start the law firm even though 99% of the people he talked to said it was a terrible idea, and what he has learned about setting and achieving goals, building authentic relationships, and how to make yourself happy.
We congratulate AABANY member Michael Kim for being interviewed by Celina Lee on her podcast. We are also honored to count Kobre & Kim among AABANY’s sponsors.
