YLD Invited Guest News for November 2016

Posted by: Katharine Heriges on Nov 30, 2016
The TBA YLD Board invites specialty and minority bars in the state to name a representative to serve as an unfunded and non-voting member of the board. The goal of the invited guest program is to increase diversity among the board and provide an opportunity for young lawyers involved in other legal organizations to have a voice in the state bar association. Here are those organizations.
 
Association for Women Attorneys (AWA) – The AWA recently had its New Attorney Welcome and Membership Social for new attorneys that have passed the bar. The group will be having a judicial reception on December 6 from 6 to 8 p.m. at 571 S Belvedere Blvd., Memphis, Tennessee, 38104. The group’s annual banquet will be held on January 17, 2017 at the Tower Room in Memphis.
