2019-2020 SABA-SC Board Application

SABA Board Overview

The South Asian Bar Association of Southern California (SABA-SC) is looking forward to an exciting and productive year. We are currently looking for motivated individuals who want to be part of the SABA-SC Board for a one year commitment that runs from March 2019 - March 2020.

Members of the Board work to support SABA-SC’s efforts that include implementing and coordinating programs to promote and advance the goals of the South Asian legal and non-legal community, mentoring other lawyers and law school students, engaging in community service, and being a voice for the South Asian community. Board members range widely in their practices and years of experience. No matter what year or practice you are in, so long as you are energetic and would like to be involved meaningfully in SABA-SC, we would like to hear from you.

Important Dates and Information

The 2019-2020 Board will be installed at the next SABA-SC and Public Interest Foundation Banquet on Tuesday, March 12, 2019. In addition, the Board Retreat will be held on Saturday, April 6, 2019 from 11am-3pm at Minyard Morris in Orange County. Brunch & mimosas will be provided. Please manage your schedules to accommodate these two important events.

Please note that although we are primarily based out of Los Angeles, we are specifically encouraging Orange County residents to apply this year to serve on our inaugural OC sub-committee. Don't let the distance between the OC and LA deter you from applying - we have big things in mind for SABA-SC in the next few years!
