  This year is a momentous year for FALA New York—From June 20 to June 22, 2025, FALA New York will be co-hosting the National Filipino American Lawyers Association’s (“NFALA”) Annual Mid-Year Leadership Summit and NFALA-ganza!, a celebration of NFALA’s LGBTQIA+ network for Pride Month. The Summit will also coincide with FALA New York’s Annual Dinner on June 20, 2025.

  The Summit is an annual three-day conference that brings together local Filipino bar association affiliates of NFALA together for a weekend of inspiring speakers, panels, and workshops. The Summit provides an opportunity for the Filipino legal community to foster meaningful connections with attorneys in private practice, in-house, public service, and the judiciary. This year’s Summit will open with a Friday evening reception at a law firm in midtown Manhattan, followed by FALA New York’s Annual Dinner celebration, wherein it awards NFALA Foundation’s Robin Tizón Mangaser Scholarship. The Summit will continue with a Saturday series of panels, presentations, and workshops, followed by NFALA-ganza!, an annual Pride Month celebration honoring NFALA’s LGBTQIA+ network. NFALA-ganza! will be hosted at the historic Stonewall Inn. The Celebration serves as a fundraiser for NFALA Foundation’s LGBTQIA+ Scholarship. Finally, the Summit will close with a brunch on Sunday.

  Register for the Summit and NFALA-ganza! at https://nfala.com/event-6153108. Purchase a ticket for FALA New York's Annual Dinner here.

  If you are interested in assisting the FALA New York Board and NFALA with planning the event or volunteering at the event itself, please email info@falanewyork.org.
