An Update from YLS

In April, YLS hosted a service event on April 1st at Backpack Beginnings.  Thank you to our volunteers and Backpack Beginnings!  The YLS kickball team continues to play on Monday nights.  YLS also recently held an NCAA Tournament Bracket Challenge.  Congratulations to Hillary Kies (first place), Zachary Kovach (second place), and Alex Snow (third place)!  In May, YLS will be hosting an end of the year celebration and a spring swearing-in ceremony.  We hope to see many of you at one of these upcoming events!  If you are eligible for YLS and do not currently receive our emails, please email younglawyerssection@greensborobar.org to be added to our email list!  Our email list is the best way to receive information about upcoming YLS events.

YLS Member Spotlight: Allison Dunlap, Board Member

Allie is a traffic and criminal defense attorney.  She recently joined The Law Office of Tony Huynh.  The majority Allie’s practice is based in Greensboro and High Point, but the law firm serves clients in 13 different counties.  When asked what her favorite part of her job is, Allie responded: “Let’s face it, most folks aren’t thrilled to talk to me.  The best part about my job is the opportunity to provide guidance and clarity during a time of stress and uncertainty.”

After attending several events and playing on the YLS kickball team, Allie decided to join the YLS board.  She is in her second year on the board and has been a valuable contributor to YLS.  Allie specifically enjoys the fellowship and camaraderie of YLS.  Allie is the proud mother of a young child, Miller.  Miller and Allie’s husband, Landon, often attend YLS events with Allie.
