Dear Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter, I want to take this opportunity to thank the AREAA Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter for their incredible accomplishments this past year, and personally thank Tony Nguyen for his 2019 leadership.

The Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter amazes me as they are constantly evolving.

They bring relevant and educational topics to their members and the real estate practitioners in the community they serve.

I would like to personally congratulate President Trang Dang-Le and the entire 2020 Board of Directors for taking on the responsibility of leading such a signiďŹ cant and exemplary chapter. I am excited to watch the AREAA Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter continue to grow and look forward to supporting their board achieve all of their goals in 2020.

Increasing AAPI homeownership is at the core of our mission and without dynamic and inuential chapters like Dallas/Fort Worth, this would not be possible. As we enter into this new year and decade together, I look forward to making 2020 exceptional for AAPI homeownership and the Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter.

Sincerely,

James Huang, 2020 AREAA National President

My Dear AREAA family and friends, It is an honor for me to get to serve you as AREAA DFW President for 2020. With a New Year, and a new decade, I’m excited for all the opportunities ahead for AREAA DFW. This past year was a success with President Tony Nguyen and the Board’s leadership. We were able to achieve many goals and helped the AAPI community. For 2020, we will be even more ambitious! Our calendar is packed with educational events, networking opportunities, and meaningful services for our community and we are looking forward to having all of you join us. We have planned many fun events such as AREAA DFW Golf Tournament, AREAA DFW Autumn Moon Mixer, and for the first time, AREAA DFW’s Skeet Shooting Tournament Fundraiser to help our members further their education and leadership skills to better serve the community. It’s going to be an awesome year!

Trang Dang-Le 2020 President

With all these events planned, our team is already hard at work. I’m so grateful for such a committed board and their desire to serve the AAPI community. Through our service we will be able to spread the word and the work that we do. In doing so, we will be able to raise the awareness of our presence and attract more like minded individuals to be AREAA DFW members and to serve the AAPI community along with us. Let’s make AREAA DFW a household name.

AREAA DFW has been with me since I’ve started my real estate career. Through AREAA, I’ve grown personally and professionally. I am thankful for AREAA because I’ve met so many amazing people and have learned so much from them. I have also been able to connect and gain new friendship from all over the world. AREAA definitely has a special place in my heart and I’m thrilled that I get to show you the true power of AREAA DFW in 2020.

Dear AREAA Family and Guest : First off, I want to thank my 2019 board, AREAA members, and our 2019 title sponsors TransGlobal and Jeff Pickering CPA as without you guys AREAA would not have accomplished so much in 2019.

2019 was an interesting year to say the least and I’m extremely grateful for the support and countless hours of volunteering our board members gave in order for our organization to continue to thrive and grow.

Tony Nguyen 2019 Past President

We set off the year with the goal to get AREAA DFW more exposure on the local level and with the support of the community, I feel we are getting close to having AREAA as a household name here locally. This past year we were able to grow our membership base by a large percentage and notably we won 2019 Gala of the Year across all 43 AREAA chapters.

I’m beyond excited for 2020 as I know our new President, Trang Dang-Le, will do an amazing job and continue our momentum we have created over the past few years to make AREAA DFW even better!

Looking forward to a prosperous 2020 and hope to see you at our next event.

TAMMY NGUYEN LEE EMCEE

MULTI-FACETED AND AWARD-WINNING FILM AND TELEVISION PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, ON-CAMERA TALENT AND PHILANTHROPIST A first generation Vietnamese American, she grew up “against the grain” by nature, dedicating her free time to honing her skills in the performing and fine arts. She attended gifted and talented schools and graduated near the top of her class with a full International Baccalaureate diploma from Garland High School. She received a scholarship to attend Southern Methodist University’s Meadows School of the Arts, where she studied abroad in Paris and graduated with honors with a B.A. in Cinema and double minors in French and Business. She later was accepted into and graduated from the elite University of California – Los Angeles’ (UCLA) Producers Program.

Tammy’s talent and credits span from in front of the camera and behind the scenes in movies, television, commercials, industrials and national campaigns. Her experience on set fueled her passion for advocating the complexity of the Asian American identity and representation in the media. In 2007, she co-founded with her family ATG Against The Grain Productions, a 501(c)(3) non-profit production company. With her husband, George Lee, Tammy produced and directed her first feature documentary Operation Babylift: The Lost Children of Vietnam, an independent passion project that was released in 2009 and took nearly five years to produce. The film won the Audience Choice Award for Best Feature Film (Vietnamese International Film Festival) and the Documentary Audience Choice Award (Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival) and has screened at more than a dozen films festivals internationally. Since it’s founding, ATG’s mission has grown to providing aid to orphanages and underprivileged children in Vietnam,

Thailand,

Cambodia

and

the

Philippines;

awarding

artistic

and

leadership

scholarships

to

talented

Asian

American

students;

giving

scholarships to adoptees to attend culture/heritage camps and hosting signature outreach events like Fashion for Passion, Cocktails for a Cause and Groundbreakers Speak that educate, entertain and inspire. In late 2015, she received a grant from the Dallas Women’s Foundation’s Orchid Giving Circle to begin production on her latest social issue documentary, Light of Day, a candid look at domestic violence in the Asian community. She is also writing a motivational children’s book illustrated by her artist father.

A passionate, creative and innovative leader, Tammy has been an active advocate, volunteer and speaker who enjoys connecting others and building bridges. She has served in a variety of leadership capacities for organizations including Women in Film.Dallas, The Community Center of Greater Dallas and Miss Asian American Texas. She has been a motivational speaker for student and young professional leadership conferences, including NAAAP, UNAVSA, AALEC and Monster DLP. For her leadership, activism and service to the community, she has been honored with many awards, including the prestigious 2010 SMU Distinguished Alumni Emerging Leader Award, given to an alumae/alumnus who has graduated within the past 15 years and brought

distinction

to

the

University.

She

was

honored

in

2012

by

the National

Association

of

Asian

American

Professionals

(Dallas/Fort

Worth

Chapter)with a Leaders of Excellence Award. In 2015, the National Association Asian American Professionals inducted her into the NAAAP 100, an award nominated and voted upon by NAAAP Board and offered annually to the most influential leaders who have made significant contributions to their profession and the Asian community. In 2016, the Southwest Jewish Congress honored her with the Audrey Kaplan Inspiring Women of the Southwest Award, presented to women from diverse backgrounds who have been diligent in the pursuit of positive social change and as role models have made an impact on the community. In 2018, she was awarded a Visionaries of Innovation Award by the Greater Dallas Asian American Chamber of Commerce for her work in Arts & Culture. Tammy considers herself a proud Texan and calls Dallas home. She is a devoted wife to George and mother to their three beautiful children - Gabriella, Austen and Tennyson a.k.a. The Lee Musketeers.

What is your New Year’s Resolution?

Don’t let another year go by without protecting your family...

ESTATE PLANNING • Do you have an Appointment of Guardian for your children in the event you are incapacitated or deceased?

• You’ve worked hard for your assets – do you have a family trust in place to keep inheritance out of the hands of creditors, children’s spouses, and the court registry?

• If your spouse were ill or injured, do you have a durable power of attorney to rely upon in times of need?

• Without a medical power of attorney in place, do you know who will make your most important health decisions in the event you cannot make them for yourself?

• Did you know that in most blended families in Texas, the surviving spouse does NOT inherit everything from the deceased spouse if the deceased spouse dies with no will or trust?

Estate planning is more crucial than ever, and The Settle Law Firm, PLLC can help you put into place the kind of planning that protects your most important asset of all – your family.

Call our office today for a free consultation.

Conveniently located in Murphy, Texas, our small, local firm of two attorneys and staff offers compassionate and attentive legal services in the areas of estate planning, probate, and real estate.

Comprehensive estate plans start as low as $700 per person and include Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, Declaration of Guardian, Appointment of Guardian for Children, and Appointment for Disposition of Remains.
