Johnny Wang of Clayton-based Gallop, Johnson & Neuman has been elected president of the Missouri Asian-American Bar Association (MAABA).

“MAABA plays an increasingly important role in Missouri’s legal community as more Asian-American law students enter the profession and more law firms, and as well as corporations, small businesses and non-profit organizations seek productive sources of Asian-related business information, networking, referrals and meaningful social interactions," Wang stated Monday in a news release. "I am proud to serve MAABA as its president.”

Wang is an associate in Gallop's labor and employment law department.
