Continued from page 6 Lastly, I would like to thank Kevin McLaughlin, the immediate past president of the HCBA, and the entire HCBA board for their support of the YLD. Their leadership and support truly allowed the YLD to thrive this year. It has been a great year. I am honored that I was able to serve as the YLD president, and I look forward to continuing my service on the YLD board of directors next year. I am confident my successor, Melissa Mora, will have an outstanding year. In addition to Melissa, the board of directors for the coming year is an outstanding group of individuals who will only continue to build on the success of their predecessors. I am truly excited for the upcoming year, and I would again encourage every young lawyer to continue to Get Connected and Get Involved!
