Gearing Up for 2024

July is here and it is hot! Summer is upon us, our kids are out of school and traffic is seemingly lighter to and from the office. That is typically a welcomed change from the rest of the year. Each month as I write these, I think to myself, “Man time has gone by so fast.” I cannot be the only one who thinks the last few years have just flown by?

Last month, a few of us attended the Florida Bar Annual Convention. As always, it was a great time, what with the many CLE programs, social events and, of course, the swearing in of the newest president of The Florida Bar and Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division! It is always exciting to hear about new initiatives that will be taking place in their respective year.

In the month of July, the Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference takes place, and it is a BLAST! If you are interested in leadership in the LCBA, I would highly recommend attending and getting involved in the committee. Each year it is so fun, and this year is sure to be just as enjoyable – or more!

Speaking of fun, we are jumping into high gear with the LCBA Bench Bar Gala planning and coordinating. This year, it will be held on Nov. 11 at The Westin!

If you are interested in getting in on the sponsorship levels, which I highly recommend, please reach out to me and I will gladly go over the options with you. It is

sure to be one you will remember forever.

We are also starting to plan the 2024 calendar year. If you have any ideas on any events, CLEs, socials and related programming, please reach out. Let’s see if we can make it happen! Feedback is always welcome.

Cheers to summer, and to the month slowing down enough for us all to enjoy it. Remember to check out the website for all the current and upcoming events, so you do not miss anything!
