Director, Legal Clinics:

Glicel Sumagaysay

I’m Glicel Sumagaysay of Law Office of Glicel Sumagaysay, an Employment Law Firm. 

As a director for Clinics for a second term, I intend to use the experience and relationships I’ve gained the past year to continue to assist in providing the Filipino American and other communities with pro bono services. 

To accomplish this, I plan to work with co-director, Melanie Violan, to prepare and release educational programming and content to our Filipino community and other communities regarding their rights in various areas of law. I will also continue to work with our community partners to collaborate on legal clinics they host.

As a director generally, I aim to uplift our membership and other volunteers by featuring them in the programs we create or co-sponsor, giving them the platform to showcase their skills, network, and potentially gain referrals.     

Additionally, I will continue to seek collaborations and co-sponsorships with the organizations of which I’m already a member, such as California Employment Lawyers Association and its Worker Outreach Committee, as well as those which I’ve had the opportunity to work with this past year.

Thank you for your consideration.
