Korean American Bar Association of Georgia - Kabaga

Korean American Bar Association of Georgia - Kabaga Founded in 8/2012 by a dedicated group of Korean American attorneys. For more information: http://kabaga.org/

In 2012, June Lee, a partner at Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, had a vision. "I saw the growing number of young Korean American attorneys and law students in Georgia and wished they could have the mentorship that I lacked growing up in big law firms." Going through her rolodex, she approached her friends, including two other Korean American big law partners: Han Choi, the first Asian American

Managing Partner of a major law firm in Atlanta (Ballard Spahr), and Sun Choy (partner, Freeman, Mathis & Gary). She also leveraged the energy and creativity of Sara Hamilton (Thompson Hine) and the selfless devotion of Helen Kim Ho, executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice Atlanta, the first Asian American non-profit legal advocacy center in Georgia. These five founding members became the original KABA-GA Board. Towery recalls, "I will never forget the bright eyes of the 30+ young Korean Americans gathered at our inaugural event. From then on, the rest of you just took it to a level I never dreamed we could reach in such a short time. It is proof that we were all hungry for a place to gather, to give and receive support to achieve the greatest heights and fulfillment in our chosen career path. As they say, the rest is history--and all of you are making it happen."

Today, we honor the profound sacrifices of military service members, including those who have recently been brought home to Georgia. Decades later, over 7,500 Americans from the Korean War still remain missing in action. KABA-GA salutes all who served. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.⭐
