Continuing its practice of public involvement, The Florida Bar seeks a new nonlawyer to serve on its governing board.

Two public members have served on the Bar’s 52-member governing board since the Supreme Court of Florida approved the organization’s request to have nonlawyer representation on the board in 1987. Only 12 other state bar organizations have public members on their governing boards.

The new board member will replace Linda Goldstein of Tampa, whose second two-year term expires June 2024.
