October was filled with a lineup of fantastic AYLA gatherings:
• Attorneys from all practice areas and walks of life came out to the Brass Poppy in the Van Zandt Hotel for a joint Docket Call with the Austin Bar Association’s Entertainment & Sports Law Section. AYLA extends a huge thanks to The Lewis Group for sponsoring the event and hosting a fun giveaway featuring champagne and wine.
• Freshquires–the AYLA trailblazers dedicated to providing practice tips and community to first to third year lawyers–came together to welcome new members at its Kickoff Happy Hour at Better Half.
• AYLA and the Austin Bar teamed up to host a Leadership Academy alumni and recruitment event at Hilgers House. Past and future Leadership Academy members had the opportunity to connect, and the fearless founders of the Leadership Academy, Justice Karin Crump and David Courreges, spoke on how the program continues to empower young lawyers with meaningful opportunities for professional and personal growth.
• AYLA Board Member Daniela Peinado Walsh moderated an insightful panel for a Local Latinos CLE panel.
• The AYLA Health & Wellness Committee held an evening flow yoga sessions with the help of CapMetro’s stellar rooftop.
• AYLA members took a behind-the-scenes tour of Q2 Stadium to support the 4ATX Foundation and had a Family Night for the Austin FC match vs. LAFC. It was a fun time cheering on the Verde and watching the team secure a win.
