Roland Sanchez-Medina, Jr., of Miami, a veteran Board of Governors member and past Cuban American Bar Association president,  has become president-elect designate of The Florida Bar after being elected without opposition.

“I’m excited to be working with the Board of Governors and the staff,” he said. “The level of professionalism and dedication I see at the Bar is second to none.”

A transactional lawyer and managing partner of SMGQ Law, Sanchez-Medina assumed the title December 15 when the qualifying period ended and no other candidate stepped forward.
