PAST PABA SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT SPOTLIGHT:
NOEL B. VALES
How important is it to support our students?
Noel B. Vales, past PABA Scholarship recipient recalls, “Prior to law school, I had worked on variety of Filipino community related organizations – APALC, SIPA, UCLA Samahang Pilipino, and Kayamanan Ng Lahi. Several Filipino American role models had inspired me to work on those causes, including a number of PABA members. In fact, PABA attorneys inspired me to pursue a legal career.”
In addition to practicing Commercial Real Estate Finance at Robinson & Cole, Noel continues to be a leader in Filipino community related organizations, including the National Filipino American Lawyers Association (NFALA). As the current President of the NFALA Foundation and FALA New York, Noel is “excited to be able to help support the next generation of Filipino American lawyers.”
Join PABA and The PABA Foundation on May 5, 2020 at a virtual happy hour, where we will be raising funds for law students and recent graduates.
