Ms. Jacobsen’s grant proposal was for the Volusia County Young Lawyers Division to host a luncheon for young lawyers to discuss the peaks and pitfalls of the new attorney who decides to hang their own shingle. At the luncheon, attendees would be presented with YLD items to take with them as a reminder that the YLD supports them and that they should be afraid to reach out if they have questions. The grant award amounts won’t be announced for several weeks, but Amanda and co-presenter, Kayla Hathaway, received the Best Grant Presentation out of more than 50 YLD Chapters that presented at the conference.
