*** Seeking Applications for the YLD Executive Council ***
The DBA-YLD anticipates openings on the 2007-2008 YLD Executive Council and is now accepting applications. The Council is responsible for organizing and running all of the DBA-YLD’s wonderful programs each year. Candidates must be members of the DBA and qualify as a young lawyer (3 years or less in practice or under 37 years-old, whichever keeps you with us longer). The existing Executive Council is looking for individuals who have a drive to serve the community and have exhibited involvement in DBA-YLD or similar programs. Serving on the Executive Council is fun, rewarding, and educational, but candidates must be willing and able to make the time commitment to meet once per month and to run and/or assist with various DBA-YLD projects. It generally requires a two-year commitment. If you are interested, please provide a letter explaining your desire to join the Executive Committee as well as a resume to Casie Collignon, Chair-Elect, DBA-YLD, at ccollignon@bakerlaw.com or Melissa Nicoletti at the Denver Bar Association offices. Applications must be received no later than May 1, 2007.
