The TBA Young Lawyers Division (YLD) Board recently held its winter meeting in Nashville. YLD President Sean Aiello presented Stars of the Quarter to Nashville attorney Darius Walker Jr. for his role as treasurer, Nashville attorney Alix Rogers for her role as Middle Tennessee Governor and Lewisburg attorney Savannah Oliver for her role as chair of the Public Service Committee. Aiello also expressed appreciation for all board members and their outstanding effort in their roles. Judge Lee Bussart, the YLD Fellows liaison to the board, selected Sean Aiello as the recipient of the disco gavel.  Several board members joined Health and Wellness Coordinator Patrick Morrison for a brisk walk down Broadway in the morning. In addition, the board welcomed the Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI) Class of 2025 to the retreat. This was the first time the class met in person. Special thanks to YLD Board members Ginny Blake, Grace Burnett, Billy Leslie, Alix Rogers, Jennifer Safstrom, Darius Walker Jr. and Rod Watson who held programming for the students. The Class of 2025 will join the board again at the Mock Trial Competition in March and the TBA's Annual Convention in June.
