The Value of Board Membership feat. Samora Legros

Samora Legros sits on the Board of the Max Cadet Foundation, an
organization created to celebrate his grandfather, a lawyer,
judge, and dentist. Created with a dental clinic based in
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, the Max Cadet Foundation serves children
and adults living n Haiti by providing them with better dental
care access.


Samoa Legros had the opportunity to work at a law firm during
summers and breaks. As he took on more challenging tasks, he
succeeded and received more responsibility. Given his
grandmother's age, Samora knew that his analytical skills and
empathy would make him a wonderful lawyer. After graduating in
2007, Samoa worked full-time at the law firm and had another
striking experience in law. He worked with a client facing
eviction who could not work and needed guidance and mentorship.
Recognizing the potential of the sword and shield, he understood
how the law and policy could be used to assist and protect
people.


Samoa Legros highlights the significance of classes like trial
advocacy, mediation, and effective communication in advocating
for others. Professor Alvin Washington's teaching and problem
analysis skills have empowered Samoa to confidently discuss and
address the root causes of problems, enabling effective
solutions, particularly in cases where individuals require urgent
medical procedures.
