While the names have changed, the goal of the Mental Health and Wellness of Florida Lawyers Committee remains the same as the group met during the Annual Florida Bar Convention in the Boca Raton June 21.

Current Vice-Chair Rich Rivera of Jacksonville takes over as chair from Karl Klein who was recently elected to the Board of Governors representing the 11th Circuit.

Rivera says he’s ready for the challenge and looks forward to expanding on the committee’s current work.
