The Florida Bar Board of Governors at the Bar’s annual meeting appointed Hank Coxe of the Bedell Firm to a two-year term in the American Bar Association’s House of Delegates.
Jake Schickel of Coker Schickel Sorenson & Posgay earned another year as a member of the Florida Bar’s Executive Committee, this time as chair of the Budget Committee.
The Board of Governors has also selected three of its members — Greg Coleman, David Prather, and Gwynn Young — to serve on the Bar’s Executive Committee for the 2009-10 Bar year.
The governors chose the three at their May 29 meeting, completing the makeup of the committee, which is empowered to act for the board between its bimonthly meetings.
