Y L D P R E S I D E N T ’ S M E S S A G E Ja s o n Wh i t t e mo re – Wa g n e r Mc La u g h l i n Continued from page 6 One of the YLD’s premier networking events of the winter is our annual Coffee at the Courthouse on February 5. The event provides a unique opportunity for our members to meet our local judiciary outside the courtroom. We are excited to be partnering with the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers for this year’s event. If coffee or early mornings aren’t your thing, please consider joining us for our YLD Quarterly Luncheon on February 28, which will feature guest speaker Jennifer Strouf — founder of Improv4Lawyers. Improve4lawyers is an innovative way for lawyers to sharpen their advocacy skills outside of the traditional CLE programs. Other events to keep an eye out for in the coming months include the YLD Winter/Spring Happy Hour, YLD Steak and Sports Day, and the YLD’s Annual Cornhole for a Cause benefitting Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Tampa Bay. As always, the YLD appreciates the support of its many sponsors. None of the work the YLD does to help the Hillsborough County community would be possible without each of these sponsors’ support!
