An Update from YLS

The month of February was exciting and busy for YLS! On Friday, February 16, 2024, YLS partnered with the Mentorship Committee to host “The Art of Mentorship” with Guest Speaker Keith Kannenberg of The Kannenberg Institute, featuring special guest Lee Rouson: a former running back in the NFL, two time Superbowl Champion with the New York Giants, and Greensboro native. Rouson shared his perspective as it relates to the importance of mentorship and Kannenberg led an interactive segment with over 20 GBA members in attendance about the art of mentorship.

YLS Board Member Spotlight: Hillary Kies

Hillary Kies practices Civil Litigation at Turning Point Litigation here in Greensboro. Hillary’s favorite part about her job is that she’s always learning something new due to the varied nature of her practice. When asked about her involvement in GBA and YLS she stated: “I became involved in YLS as soon as I came to Greensboro to get to know other lawyers in town.  After a few years I joined the Board to help other lawyers make those same type of connections.  I am also a chair of the GBA Mentorship Committee that connects lawyers of different experience levels.”
