Partial travel funding for affiliate leaders
Many of the YLD’s 300 affiliate organizations (state and local
young lawyer associations) face financial challenges that prevent
them from sending members to conferences. To assist our affiliates,
the YLD provides a $200 travel reimbursement ($100 for two days)
to three members of each affiliate; a fourth member is funded if
the member is a minority, solo/small firm, government, public sector
or military lawyer. This special reimbursement is available for
the Fall and Spring Conferences; no advance approval is required.
In addition, affiliates who have not sent a representative to a
conference in three years can also seek special funding for one-time
travel funding; this program requires advance approval. To apply
for this onetime
special funding, affiliates should contact their YLD District Representative.
