Celebrating the Filipino Bar Association of Northern California’s 41st Installation Gala

Leading the Filipino Bar Association of Northern California (FBANC) in the midst of a global pandemic was an incredible test of character and determination. The FBANC 2020-2021 Board of Directors faced extraordinary demands during an unprecedented year: from completely transforming FBANC’s traditional in-person programming and events into a virtual format, to engaging members experiencing fatigue from months of pent-up anxiety, as well as fundraising to support FBANC’s operations and the FBANC Foundation during a complete shutdown of the economy. Despite these challenges, FBANC remained resilient and determined to carry out its mission of serving the community.

In the summer of 2020, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) bestowed its prestigious Affiliate of the Year Award to FBANC based on our deep commitment to diversity and inclusion, as well as our zealous service to the community. In October 2020, San Francisco Mayor’s Filipino American History Month Celebration also recognized FBANC’s four-decade-long commitment to the community.

This award and recognition celebrate FBANC’s long history as a social justice and community service organization. This past year, FBANC was determined to honor that history by providing pro bono legal services through our virtual legal clinics and Know Your Rights webinars to the public. FBANC remained committed to diversifying the legal profession by supporting our attorney and law student members with professional development programs (including hosting two virtual Komunidad conferences and a virtual Pinay Powerhouse Conference), networking and mentorship opportunities, and scholarships through the FBANC Foundation.  FBANC acted in solidarity with our Black brothers and sisters and combatted the rise in anti-AAPI discrimination and hate through coalition building and collaborations with our sister organizations. Amid our profound pain and loss, we found solace in this community – a community that stands up against systemic racism, oppression and injustice.

We know that the work continues. We know that systems of patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism existed prior to the pandemic and that these systems teach us that we do not belong. I invite you to join FBANC in celebrating our 41st anniversary by attending our Virtual Installation Gala.  This year’s theme Know History Know Self reflect the work we continue to do to resist and fight against these systems of oppression.  For more information, go to https://fbanc.org/annual-dinner

I am grateful to the Dolan Law Firm, PC for its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and for wholeheartedly supporting organizations like FBANC and encouraging me to take on leadership roles to serve our community.

In Solidarity,

Mari Bandoma Callado
Dolan Law Firm Senior Associate Attorney and Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
FBANC President 2020-2021

I Work on Coffee Since 1984

An interesting business case of an old coffee roaster company. Our team found the way to breathe life into a project and save the authenticity.

Did you know that not every site has professional copywriters churning out the copy? We are one of such kind of sites. This is going to sound a little hippi dippi to some of you, but at first we are thinking about the product we’re selling and write down anything that comes to mind. Seriously! We are not afraid to seem silly. We go back to our list after some time. Review what we wrote. Has a theme emerged? Do you focus on the durability of an item? The classic appeal of it? The technology? Notice if something jumps off the page at you and try to run with that theme. You know what? If you like the item but still hesitate, go for a brainstorm over a beer with friends. Get others to weigh in on your ideas, let them know what you’re stuck on and just talk it out. It never fails. Especially over a beer. This product doesn’t need a 1 000 word presentation, even a 100 word story is enough. We hope such kind of presentation will make you see the new angle of the product we offer. We are not a kind of sellers who are hiding the details worth telling to the customer. Reading this product description you won’t need neither little nor lot of digging. It will walk you through all major product features. We are very methodical here: fabric, country of origin, care details, etc. Answering questions is important. We’ll grill them about the stripe. However, the more questions we answer, the more our customers get out of them. By the way, we always recommend you ask the “why” question too. Why this product? If you are able to answer – this is the one you have been looking for.

We try and create a long form story for each item, almost as if it was the subject of its own full-blown marketing campaign. And then a story came through. Eventually, new product copy, convincing the customer that this product is just indispensable in his/her life appears.
