GBA Fellows Program Kick-Off Events Succeed!

During the 2023-2024 bar year, Immediate Past President Gerald Walden established the GBA Fellows Program to foster connections between the GBA and law students interning in the Triad area. This initiative aims to build relationships among interns and the local legal community while also encouraging the interns to consider making the Triad their permanent home after graduating from law school. Under the able leadership of Frankie Jones, Jr., the program successfully hosted two mixers this past summer. The first event, generously sponsored by Fox Rothschild, took place at Southend Brewery on June 27, 2024, attracting approximately 45 law student interns and practicing attorneys. The second mixer, supported by Brooks Pierce and the NC Bar Association, was held at Café Europa on August 7, 2024, drawing around 65 attendees. The law student interns who attended the events expressed tremendous gratitude for the opportunity to connect with one another and network with local attorneys. Heartfelt thanks are extended to our sponsors and all GBA members who participated.
