August 15 is the deadline for applications to the AABANY Mentorship Program. We have received a large number of responses from mentees. Thanks to all who registered. We would like as much as possible to match one mentor to one mentee and to that end, we are putting out a call to mentors. Thanks to the mentors who have already signed up. We need more to apply, so if you have not yet done so, please do so before the Fall Conference on September 17. If you have done so, please encourage others to apply.
As of 11:59 pm on Monday, August 15, we will be closing the applications from mentees while leaving the form open to mentors. The final deadline will be September 17, at which time we plan to introduce the mentors and mentees to each other during the cocktail reception at the conclusion of the Fall Conference.
If you have any questions about the Mentorship Program please contact Julie Kwon, the Program’s Coordinator.
Mark your calendars and save the date: On August 31, AABANY will be hosting an End of Summer Happy Hour at Roam NYC on East 19th Street near Fifth Ave, from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Last month we announced the launch of the AABANY Mentorship Program. We have had a strong response from mentees and we need more mentors to sign up, particularly in the following areas: Bankruptcy, Corporate, Commercial Litigation, International, Immigration, Intellectual Property and Real Estate. If you have not signed up yet, please do so today. Deadline is August 15. We hope you will take part in this important new initiative from AABANY. Thanks very much to those who have already signed up. We plan to introduce the mentors and mentees in person during the cocktail reception at the Fall Conference on September 17.
