2026 AEF Benefit Dinner

Dedicated to bringing together Asian Pacific American (“APA”) attorneys and law students in the Greater Washington, D.C. area, the Asian Pacific American Bar Association Educational Fund (“AEF”) hosts several charitable and educational events each year.

With over 30 years in service, AEF has continued its reputation for engaging programming.  As these programming efforts face steep inflation, we need your support more than ever.  To support AEF’s scholarships and programming, we hope that you can join us for the 2026 AEF Benefit Dinner.

The 2026 AEF Benefit Dinner will be held on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 6:00 pm at the Eaton Hotel in Washington, D.C.  The Honorable Catherine Chen, Baltimore City Circuit Court, 8th Judicial Circuit, is scheduled to be our keynote speaker.  We will also honor the recipient of the AEF Community Service Award, Marita Etcubañez, for her years of service to the APA community at organizations like Asian Americans Advancing Justice and the Asian Pacific American Legal Resource Center.

You can purchase individual tickets here. If you have any questions or are interested in being a sponsor, please email us at outreach@aefdc.org.
