YLD Law Week Committee, and from 2013 to 2018,
served on the HCBA YLD Board.
Ms. Lacevic’s philanthropic work rivals her work
with the YLD. She has used her experience as a
Bosnian refugee forced to leave her war-torn country
as motivation to give back to the community here in
Tampa. In the past year, she and a group of other
former Bosnian refugees established a USF scholarship
to benefit young women who themselves are refugees.
The first recipient of the scholarship was a current USF
student who is a refugee from Syria.
In
recognition
for
her
accomplishments
professionally and in her community, she was recently
awarded the University of South Florida’s Outstanding
Young Alumni Award — an award given to only one
percent of USF’s former students.
The YLD is proud to recognize Ms. Lacevic for the
difference she has made in the practice of law and in
the community through her ethics and conduct.
YLD Holiday Happy Hour
The Yld had a festive night on december 12 at their
annual Holiday Happy Hour, held at the new Fermented
reality Biergarten.
Thank you to the Yld members that attended and
The Bank of Tampa for sponsoring this fun event!
