TBA Staff Changes for 2017; Hopper Lee Named YLD Coordinator

Posted by: Katharine Heriges on Dec 30, 2016

The Tennessee Bar Association will see some staff changes in the new year, but most of the changes will be among familiar faces.

Lauren Hopper Lee, who has worked with the TBA as CLE Coordinator for three years, will be moving up to take on the role of Young Lawyers Division and Public Education Coordinator. For most of her tenure at the TBA, she was in charge of YLD Continuing Legal Education, so she is well suited to the transition.

She holds both a bachelors and a masters degree in Social Work from Tennessee State University. Most recently she worked at St. Luke’s Community House, serving seniors and families in West Nashville. She has also interned at the Tennessee General Assembly.

Outgoing YLD and Public Education Coordinator Katharine Heriges will be moving internally as well, to fill the vacant Communications Coordinator position. Heriges's professional background is in political communications and print news reporting, which should serve her well in the new role.
