AULSTIN GARDINER 2022–2023 TCYLA President

Summer is here and the TCYLA 2022-23 year is coming to an end. My year as President has truly been rewarding thanks to my entire board’s hard work on putting together some amazing events, CLEs, happy hours, and even a softball team or two.

In April, Spring Fiesta was a great success. We had an amazing turnout of lawyers (of all ages) and Judges. We enjoyed live music, silent auction, and raffle prizes thanks to a bunch of very generous sponsors who donated to the event. I would like to personally thank the following Judges who were able to turn out for this event and enjoy a few enchiladas with the TCYLA and its members: Judge Kenneth Newell, Judge Don Pierson, Judge Jeffrey Kaitcer, Judge Ralph Swearingin, Jr., Judge Eric Starnes, Judge Patricia Baca Bennett, Judge John Eck, and Judge Cynthia Terry.

Board member Joseph Austin has been putting on some amazing CLEs at our usual location, Reata. In March, we heard from Carder Brooks of Nelson Bumgardner Conroy, PC on his presentation “Tricks of the Trade(mark)” where he discussed Trademark and IP Laws. We also just heard from Judge Steve King on Bonds Inventories & Accounting. Keep an eye out in our newsletter as well as our social media for future presentations and topics: Instagram - @tarrantyounglawyers or on Facebook by searching “TCYLA.”

Lastly, we just held out officer election for next year and I am happy to announce that Ola Campbell will be the new President-Elect for the 2023-24 year, serving under our next President, Elizabeth Haslam. John Easter will be serving as the Secretary Treasurer as well. As I expressed in the last Bar Bulletin, I’m excited to see what they do next, and I know that I’m leaving the TCYLA in good hands. If you are interested in being on the TCYLA Board, please reach out to an Executive Committee member for more details. g
