back in June of this year , as I joined friends and colleagues in celebrating another year with the YLD and in welcoming our incoming officers and directors .
I am truly honored and grateful for this opportunity to serve the young lawyers of Hillsborough County , and I am happy to welcome back our returning board members : Nicole Gehringer , Lyndsey Siara , Hannah Becker , Alexis Deveaux , Harold Holder , David Kalteux , Christian Katchuk , Natasha Khoyi , Amanda Keller , and Daniela Mendez . Our legacy and succession of leadership continues to usher in new members , and I am excited to also welcome Julia Ammerman , Alexa Cline , Blake Fromang , and Paige Tucker to the Board . Finally , we are proud to have Judges Samantha Ward and Elizabeth Rice serving as the YLD ’ s judicial liaisons , and our ex-officio board members who are hard at work representing the 13th Judicial Circuit among the Florida Bar YLD ’ s Board of Governors .
In the past Bar Year , the HCBA YLD accomplished many feats , thanks in large part to the tireless efforts and passion of our immediate past president , Lyndsey Siara . Lyndsey ’ s dedication and contributions to the Young Lawyers Division are immeasurable , and we owe a huge amount of gratitude to her and to all of our outgoing committee members and chairs .
As we set goals for the new Bar Year , I am reminded of the Cheers theme and how we should always strive to make the YLD that welcoming place where everybody knows your name . Plans are already underway for our Fall and Spring events where members can forge a closer connection with the legal community , our local judiciary , and with each other . Committees are meeting in September , and we look forward to another successful Golf Tournament in October . Be on the lookout for Coffee for a Cause to return in November , for the YLD to defend its 1st place title at the Judicial Food Festival in 2024 , and for more exciting events on the horizon !
So let us raise our glasses and coffee mugs and cheers to building camaraderie , to fostering inclusiveness , and in continuing to grow and learn among friends and colleagues . n congratulations to the 2023-24 YLd Officers and board of directors
