Wang, President of MMABA, said, “The inaugural Unity Dinner in 2001 introduced MAABA to the St. Louis legal community to help bring together diverse attorneys in metro St. Louis, and this year’s event celebrates that tradition. All members of the St. Louis business and professional community are invited to attend the 12th Annual Unity Dinner to celebrate diversity and inclusion in the legal profession. The Unity Dinner is a unique opportunity to enjoy a memorable evening of great food, entertainment and diverse networking.”
