President's Message

I would like to thank you for the
opportunity to serve as President the past year. I also would like to express my
gratitude to all of our Board members for the time and effort that they
dedicate to the LBA.
I appreciate the contributions of the
LBA to our profession and our community, be it through legal and community
advocacy, student outreach, and local service organizations.
I would also like to thank all of you
for welcoming me into this legal community. When my husband and I moved to Polk County
in 2002, the prospect of getting to know a new area was a daunting challenge.
As a result of my involvement with the LBA, I have met many talented and
dedicated attorneys, who excel in their professions and greatly contribute to our
area.
At our next luncheon on May 7th, we will be hosting several judges of
the District Court of Appeal. As we reflect on Law Day, the judges will be
available to share with us their perspectives on current topics. Please join us on May 7th, the last scheduled
luncheon for the year (luncheons resume in September).
Sincerely,
Sara L. Reyes
President, Lakeland Bar Association
