A Message from the YLS President: A Year of Service 

My, what a year it has been! As my time as President of the Young Lawyers Section of the GBA comes to an end, I look back on the past bar year with such gratitude and pride at what we have been able to accomplish. One resounding theme comes to mind as I reflect on this
year: service. 

The Young Lawyers Section has given back to the community in an unprecedented way this year. We’ve donated time, funds, and goods to our neighbors in need. From a sock/glove/hat drive at the holiday party to benefit Backpack Beginnings, to hosting our first “YLS Service Week” in March, including reading to students at Hunter Elementary, making/serving a meal at Greensboro Urban Ministries, and gathering donations to benefit Hunter Elementary School, we put service at the forefront of our mission this year. 

Additionally, with the help of GBA President Gerald Walden, Jr., we’ve been able to bridge the gap more closely between the Young Lawyers Section and the greater Greensboro Bar Association, helping young lawyers find their place in the greater GBA. We partnered with the Mentorship Committee to host a remarkable “Art of Mentorship” Lunch and Learn, attended by lawyers of all ages and levels of experience. This year we were proud to recognize one of our own, Jonathan M. Parisi, as the inaugural recipient of the Outstanding Young Lawyer Award. We also celebrated a successful Legal Aid Fundraiser, co-chaired by YLS board member Casey Robinson. Additionally, we applauded other YLS board members for their contributions to GBA leadership this year: Hillary Kies, Nicole Scallon, and Nicole Patino. 

It has been a joy to lead this thriving section of the Greensboro Bar Association. Thank you to the YLS Board Members, Diane Lowe, Gerald Walden, Jr., and for all who supported us throughout the year. The future of the organization is bright!

YLS Board Member Spotlight: Jonathan M. Parisi

Jonathan M. Parisi

Jonathan M. Parisi

Jonathan M. Parisi practices at Spangler Estate Planning here in Greensboro. He practices estate planning/probate and estate administration. Jonathan’s favorite part of his job is being able to form long-standing relationships with his clients and exercising his creativity in how he assists them in their planning efforts. When asked about his involvement in GBA/YLS, Jonathan stated: “As a young lawyer, I’ve learned that remaining eager to learn is a special trait that we should never lose.  Through my involvement in the GBA and as a member of the YLS Board, I’ve established meaningful relationships with many other lawyers in the community—many older than me and many younger than me. One thing I’ve realized is that we all have something to learn from one another, regardless of age, background, or circumstance, and that value stems from genuine connections.”
