Annual Bar Convention Committee
The Convention Committee promotes YLD’s involvement with the SC Bar Convention by planning, organizing and implementing a CLE program and an attendance incentive event. The CLE component will offer a program that is of interest to young lawyers and provide at least three CLE credit hours for attendees. The attendance incentive event will be a social gathering for members of the YLD, their guests, a select group of past-YLD presidents and members of the judiciary. Its purposes are to increase young lawyer participation at the Convention and in Bar/YLD activities. Additionally, the committee will be responsible for planning and organizing a meeting for the YLD Executive Council, committee chairs and co-chairs.

Diversity Committee
The purpose of the Diversity Committee is to advocate and support diversity in the legal community, to facilitate opportunities for law students and YLD members to grow in their own understanding of diversity, and to promote equality of opportunity for all. The committee is dedicated to creating a more inclusive legal community grounded in respect and appreciation for individual differences. The committee endorses a broad definition of diversity and seeks to create a dialogue through programs and resources that enhance knowledge and encourage understanding of diversity. The most commonly known of these programs is the Diversity Committee’s Lunch and Learn Series, which brings in lawyers and other speakers from a variety of backgrounds to discuss a particular topic. Topics have included discussion on mental health, LGBTQ issues, interactions with law enforcement, and the 2016 Presidential Election and the Hispanic community.

These events will vary from after work events with other young professional organizations, such as the Young Bankers Division, the SC Association of Certified Public Accountants, and the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors of SC, to Lunch and Learn events for YLD members, which take place in a one hour, lunchtime format, and may at times offer CLE credit. Additionally, the Professional Development Committee will continue work on its video series, Secrets to Success. This committee will take on additional projects as they materialize and enhance the professional development of the YLD.
