PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

I welcome you to the website of the Association of Ghanaian Lawyers of America (AGLA) and I thank you for visiting.  You will find here  basic information on who we are, what we do and how you can help.  You will also find our mission statement, our constitution, news and events, and other useful resources including how to contact us.  We want to hear from you and we welcome your comments.

AGLA was incorporated in December 2008.  AGLA hopes to galvanize Ghanaian attorneys in the US for their own professional benefit, to become the dominant link between the US and Ghana for the mutual benefit of both countries, and to advocate for the advancement of Ghana and Ghanaians in the US.

More fundamentally, we look forward to helping members of our community access and navigate the complex US legal system and we welcome your thoughts and contributions on how we can make AGLA a more formidable association.

Akwaaba!

Kwaku Boafoh Agyeman, Esq.

(President)
