Polish American Association Our mission: Rooted in Polish heritage for over a century, PAA advances today's diverse immigrant communities.

Founded in 1922, the Polish American Association (PAA) has provided immigrants with programs and services that enable them to change their lives. The PAA is a human services organization providing a comprehensive range of culturally sensitive services to the immigrant communities and others in need. For 99 years, the PAA has created a community dedicated to helping those in need. By providing clients with education, employment, immigration, social, and supportive services, the PAA offers them resources for changing their lives and enhancing their ability to become contributing members of our community. In the year 2019, the PAA has adopted a new 5-year strategic plan that informs existing and new programs. Despite the uncertainty and unprecedented challenges caused by COVID-19 the PAA has been delivering its mission and adhering to the Strategic Plan. Next year our Agency will celebrate its Centennial. Given almost 100 years of experience assisting immigrants and refugees arriving in Chicago, our Plan offers us an opportunity to broaden our vision and open our programs for those currently experiencing the challenges and barriers to a successful transition to our region.

Right after Judge Alon Stein reminded guests about the current events and activities of the Advocate Society of the Polish-American Bar Association, a panel of Circuit Court judges and Justices discussed the dangers and potential pitfalls of using artificial intelligence during court proceedings.

The panelists highlighted the risks associated with AI and reviewed the proper practices and guidelines that should be followed when using AI in the legal setting. They provided valuable guidance both to new attorneys and as an important reminder for those with many years of experience.

For our Court Advocacy Program at the Polish American Association, the discussion was a true treasure trove of knowledge and provided valuable insight into the responsible use of AI in the courtroom.

The discussion concluded with questions from the audience, followed by remarks from Steve Rakowski, Chair of the Board of Directors of the Polish American Association.

The conference was sponsored by:

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, stand together, and remind survivors that they are not alone. Every person deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. Together, we can break the silence, offer support, and help create a future free from violence.

Domestic violence can take many forms, but no one should have to face it alone. Support, safety, and a new beginning are possible.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, the Polish American Association is here to help.

The Polish American Association is proud to be a community partner of the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Recently, we had the pleasure of participating in the 2026 Domestic Violence Summit and the ICADV Program Council Meeting in Bloomington-Normal.

The multi-day conversations covered a wide range of important topics, including services for people who cause harm, services for survivors, substance use and recovery, ethics, su***de prevention, and mental health. A significant portion of the discussion focused on artificial intelligence and its potential harmful impact when used as a tool for abuse.

Thank you to ICADV for bringing together professionals and advocates to share knowledge, strengthen collaboration, and continue advancing the work to support survivors and address domestic violence.
