Greenberg Traurig Consultant Meital Stavinsky Presents Scholarship on Behalf of Miami-Dade County Asian-American Advisory Board

Seven students of Asian descent were honored with $1,000 college scholarships at the event. Stavinsky, who joined the Asian-American Advisory Board (AAAB) earlier this year, presented a scholarship, donated by Greenberg Traurig, to University of Miami student Bibi Yasmin Moghani.

The AAAB works in an advisory capacity to the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, administration, community and all agencies in the county with respect to matters pertaining to the Asian-American community. In addition, the board and its staff routinely assist people with their grievances and intervene with the appropriate parties to seek a resolution. Reflecting the diverse nationalities that comprise Greater Asia, the AAAB includes members of Afghan, Chinese, Indian, Iranian, Israeli, Japanese and Korean descent.

“I’m proud to serve on the Asian-American Advisory Board, helping to foster dialogue and advocate for the interests of Miami-Dade County’s truly diverse Asian-American community,” said Stavinsky. “It’s also a pleasure to support and encourage the educational dreams of talented Asian-American students.”

Stavinksy coordinates Greenberg Traurig’s Israel Practice, guiding its development and initiatives from a business perspective. She assists Israeli companies that are seeking to enter the U.S. market and expand their operations in the United States, helping to match them with strategic partners, potential joint ventures and other business-to-business connections, and also advises companies seeking opportunities within Israel. Stavinsky is certified by the U.S. Green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP).
