Congratulations to Judge Lynda Jones (Class 36) for being elected to preside over the Davidson County General Sessions Court effective today (Sept. 1). Not only was she elected to General Sessions Court Division IX in 2014, she found time in her busy schedule to be a mentor in the YLC Mentor Program in 2017 and 2018, which matched recent YLC graduates with alumni to discuss professional and career issues and community service and board opportunities. She was the Nashville Business Journal Women of Influence award winner for Public Policy in 2015 and a Leadership Middle Tennessee graduate in 2018. We’re proud of you, Lynda!
It’s always a treat when we find out one of our YLC alumni has been featured on television. Here’s an inspiring story that aired on June 21 on NewsChannel 5 about James Crumlin (Class 41), an attorney at Bone McAllester Norton PLLC who has been leading the “Capitol Steps Workout” on Monday and Thursday evenings for the past seven years. Find out what motivated this former YLC board chair to start running up and down the steps and, if you’re up for the challenge, how you can join the fitness group that focuses on positivity and encouragement (and lunges and planks, too)! He was also featured on WSMV News 4 on May 30.
