More RPPTL
Suggested:
The six county court system attendees came well prepared having quite evidently prepped the agenda and brought their many experiences and knowledge to the meeting. See the email message below from the Director of Case Managers.
The two hours flew by covering all eleven agenda items and much more. The moderators learned as much as the attendees.
The courts, the JAs and others heard much about this and our agenda is making its way around the 16th Circuit court system. --- So it all went well, and we will be adding a Clerk of Court Liaison at our August meeting. This is because so much of the discussions focused on court clerk-impacted matters.
In short, the gang had a mind-slamming event much like the CLEs we have done over the years, but their open forum participation was as much a part of the education as any of it. Joe George and I were pleased at how really bright and practical our court workers are.

ALM's Responsibilities:
At-Large Members (ALMs) are elected to the Executive Council as representatives of the Section’s members. In addition to working on Section projects, the ALMs serve as the channel of communication between the Section leadership and the members. The ALMs represent the Section throughout the State, participate on the Section’s committees, keep current on issues of concern to the members, and communicate regularly with the members. It is through the ALMs that the work of the RPPTL Executive Council is disseminated to the entire Real Property Probate & Trust Law Section (RPPTL) members. The work of the ALMs is key to the success of the RPPTL Section, the largest and most successful section of the Florida Bar with over 11,000 members.
Becoming an ALM:
