CHAIR’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the official website for the Labor and Employment Law Section of The Florida Bar. As Chair, I would like to invite you to join our Section if you have not done so already, and if you are a member, encourage you to become active.

I have been a Section member since 1980 and have seen membership grow from the hundreds to over 2,000 lawyers. Our Section is recognized for its outstanding and successful CLE programs we make available throughout Florida through live seminars, recorded materials and webinars. Indeed, my primary goal as Chair is to insure the continued success of our CLE programs which directly benefit our members, as well as other practitioners in Florida.

We also have a certification program designed to enhance the visibility of those truly qualified and experienced in our area of the law so that the public can make informed decisions in selecting labor and employment law counsel. Volunteer members have spent countless hours developing, improving and maintaining a comprehensive and credible process.

Finally, I would like all interested attorneys not only to attend our live seminars, but to participate in Executive Council meetings and social events. In this age of electronic communication, I believe it is more important than ever to establish and maintain personal contacts and interaction. Personally knowing fellow members provides educational and networking opportunities and no doubt promotes professionalism. For me, that has been a tremendous source of satisfaction throughout my 29 years’ practicing labor and employment law.
