2003 Immigrant Achievement Awards in New Orleans
Posted Jun 13, 2003

The Law Office of Sheela Murthy is proud to be a sponsor once again for the Immigrant Achievement Awards Ceremony. This event coincides with the annual conference in immigration law to be held in New Orleans, LA, this year. The program is on Friday, June 20, 2003 and is organized by the American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF). The purpose of the event is to honor prominent immigrants and to raise funds for the inspiring work of AILF.

This year MexicanAmericans are being honored. During the annual conference in 2000, AILF recognized the contributions of Irish immigrants. Then, in 2001, Chinese immigrants were honored. And last year, in 2002, in San Francisco we honored Indian immigrants. Honorees of past years have shared their inspirational immigrant stories and life experiences, motivating to all those present.

Proceeds from ticket sales and the sponsorship of law firms and corporations benefit AILF and its work. AILF is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing public understanding of immigration law and policy, as well as the value of immigration to American society. AILF litigates on various immigration law issues against government agencies when required to enforce the law and the U.S. Constitution. AILF provides educational programs and a wide variety of services, all designed to advance fundamental fairness and due process for immigrants. We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy continue to support AILF and its goals, both through our longstanding sponsorship of AILF and by inviting visitors to MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers to attend and sponsor the awards ceremony. Information on attending this special evening is available on the AILF WebSite. By honoring prominent immigrants, we recognize their achievements and contributions to our society and showcase the fact that the United States is a nation of immigrants who continue to contribute to its success.
