Message from the President
ESCAMBIA-SANTA ROSA BAR ASSOCIATION
As President of the Escambia-Santa Rosa Bar Association and on behalf of its dedicated Executive Council and staff, it is my pleasure to present our 2022 ESRBA Directory! This year’s Directory provides a wealth of information about our Bar Association and valuable resources. Not only does include up-to-date profile and contact information of members, staff, our various State/Federal Courts, Clerks, Government Agencies and law-related organizations, but it also includes Specialty Listings, Fields of Practice/Mediation and Other States of Admission of our Members, which can be very helpful for referrals and collegial collaboration.
In the pages that follow, you will also find information about our ever-growing Member Benefits and Services, our robust Member Discount Program (which enables you, and your firm, to take advantage of special pricing and discounts from key industry and national brands), Leadership, Bar Meetings, CLEs, the Lawyer Referral Service, Law Week, the ESRBA Foundation, our Young Lawyers Division, and our history! Exciting news, alerts and additional barrelated information can always be found on our website (www.esrba. com) as well as on our Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn pages.
As you know, we celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2021 and it was a year that allowed us to demonstrate the strength and resiliency of our organization and underscore its purpose and Mission (“to provide outstanding service to our members, to assist them in serving the profession and the community, to make the association indispensable to the bench and bar, and to preserve and promote Escambia & Santa Rosa Counties as a unique place to practice law in a culture of camaraderie, collegiality, competence, and mutual trust.”)
Fittingly, this Directory is a great tool for every one of us to realize those ideals: whether by quickly connecting with each other, making peer referrals, or engaging with and representing our legal community within various community institutions with esteem and trust.
Whether in easy or difficult times, virtual or in person, the ESRBA always strives to provide it members the best customer service, exclusive benefits and great opportunities for professional development and networking.
Thus, I sincerely hope you find the 2022 ESRBA directory valuable and that you will keep it within ready reach at all times. I appreciate each and every one of you and wish you a prosperous and safe 2022!
