Special Thank You to Outgoing President Rasha Gerges Shields
Thank you to the outgoing AALASC Board and the progress our organization has made under the leadership of Rasha Gerges Shields. Through Rasha’s efforts, the AALASC has partnered with California ChangeLawyers to offer student scholarships.She has connected our organization with other professional and student bar associations to offer CLEs on topics such as career advancement for diverse attorneys, including spearheading a joint event with the U.S. Attorney’s Office.Rasha has single-handedly increased law student involvement through focused programing, mentoring and creating an opportunity for student representative engagement.She has also increased the visibility of the AALASC through efforts such as launching the AALASC newsletter.Through her leadership and advocacy, she has worked to increase Arab American representation on the bench.She has diligently worked to find qualified candidates, supported them through the application process and ensured they were visible to the selection committee.We look forward to continuing this progress.
