Memphis Area Legal Services Inc. (MALS) on Monday announced that its board of directors has selected Memphis attorney Nicole M. Grida as its chief executive officer (CEO). In a press release, MALS said that Grida is a longtime supporter of access to justice programs, and will bring her leadership, collaboration and legal skills to the organization to ensure it continues to provide excellence in legal advocacy to those in need, while finding innovative ways to protect the legal rights of low-income citizens in Shelby, Fayette, Tipton and Lauderdale counties. She presently serves on the TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) Board as the YLD Fellows liaison. In May, MALS appointed Amber Floyd as chair of the board of directors. Floyd is general counsel to the Memphis International Airport and a YLD Fellow. She also serves on the TBA's Access to Justice Committee and the Tennessee Bar Journal Editorial Board.
