  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. Ticket sales for FALA New York's Annual Dinner will open at the end of this month. Stay tuned!
