Professional Development Committee Hosts Soft-Launch Event for AABANY’s Wellness Podcast, “Hello… It’s Me!” 

Thank you to all who joined the Professional Development Committee for the soft-launch of AABANY’s Wellness Podcast, “Hello… It’s Me!,” on August 22, 2024. The podcast promotes personal and collective well-being within the legal community and will feature an AABANY member during each episode. Through storytelling, the aim is to emphasize the ABA’s multi-dimensional approach to lawyer well-being, focusing on mental health, emotional well-being, and self-care. By doing so, the Committee is working to remove the stigma around mental health and help our members embrace their true and authentic selves.

At the soft-launch, Willow Liu, Esq., a steadfast member of the Professional Development Committee and podcast team, moderated the event. The hosts and interviewers, Maggie Poon and Ona Lu, Vice-Chairs of the Professional Development Committee, shared their insights on conducting engaging and open conversations. The event’s special guest, Celina Lee, a former big law attorney turned career coach, author, and host of the “Live Your Dream” podcast, provided deep insights during her interview. A 13-minute podcast clip was presented featuring Celina Lee, who discussed how she focused her goals so that they would align with her values, and enable her to live her dreams. Celina’s advice was that “there’s no one path to create a fulfilling life,” which resonated with the audience and served as  a powerful reminder to stay curious.

The thought-provoking questions from our attendees were much appreciated, and the Professional Development Committee eagerly anticipates hearing more feedback from future participants! If you’re interested in contributing to this podcast, please get in touch with [email protected].

AABANY Member Tsui Yee Launches YouTube Channel to Share Immigration Law Tips

AABANY member Tsui Yee, former co-founder and Co-Chair of AABANY’s Immigration Law Committee, has launched a YouTube Channel all about immigration law. Tsui is an immigration lawyer who represents clients in family and employment-based petitions and applications, removal (deportation) defense, asylum, and other immigration matters. 

In the first video, Tsui mentions three important things to keep in mind for green card applicants. As Tsui states in the video: 

Here are the basic questions to ask yourself to ensure your application does not end up in the “USCIS limbo” 

Do I qualify for a green card? Try to seek legal advice on whether you qualify and then find someone who you know will correctly file your application. 

Have you filled out your forms correctly? You can still get denied even if you qualify for a green card but incorrectly fill out the forms. 

Does your sponsor have the means of supporting your green card application? Whether the sponsor is family-based or employer-based, your sponsor needs to meet the financial standards to support the application. 

To subscribe to Tsui Yee’s channel, click here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgZMGHXWZH5Pj4MdwXbFCbg

Please join AABANY in congratulating Tsui on this new endeavor!

Staying Connected with AABANY

We have been urging you all to “Get Connected @ AABANY” and now that you have begun to take up the call, we invite you to stay connected.  AABANY provides many ways to do so, beyond just our website and weekly e-mails.  We know that no one likes getting pelted by e-mails so we are offering other options that you can use to find out what’s going on or receive periodic short reminders about upcoming events.

Over the past few months, you may have noticed AABANY’s increasing presence on various social media fronts.  If you are already on Facebook, please log on to AABANY’s Facebook page and “like” us.  If you already have a Twitter account, follow @aabany.  If you are on LinkedIn, connect with AABANY there and join AABANY’s LinkedIn group.  You can also view videos from various events on AABANY’s YouTube Channel.

If you would prefer not to receive any e-mail or status updates from us, that is perfectly fine.  Just know that you can always go directly to our Weekly Announcements on the website, which is updated every Monday, to get the latest news and events.  You can also visit the AABANY Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts directly if you are following us through those channels.

AABANY also has a blog which currently contains much of the same content that you already see on the Weekly Announcements but over time we hope to include other content that you might find interesting.  We are developing ways for you to offer your feedback to the blog posts so that you can share your thought and ideas with us.

AABANY is doing lots of different and exciting things and we don’t want you to miss a beat.  The Communications Committee is charged with keeping our various communication channels open and active, and if you would like to be involved with those efforts, let our Communications Committee co-chairs Will Wang and Will Ng know by e-mailing them at [email protected].  If you have any questions or suggestions, get in touch with them at that address, too.

AABANY looks forward to staying connected with you.
