President's Message

        

Fellow members,

 

We had some great luncheons recently and we have some great luncheons planned to wrap up the year. First, I would like to thank Paul Womble for his presentation at our January luncheon on the impact to Polk County from Hurricane Milton. Polk County is fortunate to have Paul Womble as its Emergency Management Director to help guide the recovery from Hurricane Milton.

We also had a great CLE presentation at our February luncheon from Thomas Reuters on AI in the Legal Marketplace. If you did not get the CLE instructions to receive credit for attending the presentation, please contact Lisa Oliver.

The March luncheon brought one of my favorite luncheons of the year in which we recognize all the great judicial assistants in the 10th Judicial Circuit. Many thanks to the judicial assistants for all they do for the judicial circuit. Also, a special thanks to Chief Judge Yancey for providing us with an update on what is occurring within the judicial circuit.

Lastly, we have a great luncheon, and the bench bar reception scheduled for April. Please mark your calendars for the April 4th luncheon when we have Polk County’s Public Defender, Blair Allen as our guest speaker and April 11th for our Bench Bar Reception at the home of the Honorable Judge Torea Spohr and Taylor Davidson. You can RSVP and find more information regarding these events on our website at www.lakelandbar.org.

 

Sincerely,

Randy M. Mink, Esq.

Lakeland Bar Association, President
