Past Presidents Reflect, Joan Haratani, 2006: BASF, My Presidency, and the Number Four, The Bar Association of San Francisco
May 02, 2022Partner Joan Haratani reflects on her time as the first Asian American woman to be named president of The Bar Association of San Francisco. “Today, as hate crimes against Asian Americans tragically continue to be on the rise, stoked by similar forces of ignorance-fueled racism and fear, it’s clear we still have much work to do. However, I am also gratified that I had the opportunity to take some small steps toward progress from my position as BASF President,” Joan writes.
