Inspiring professional growth…

Welcome to the Paralegal Association of Florida, Inc. (PAF) 

It is with deep gratitude and honor that I serve as the President for 2024.  As we continue redefining how we accomplish and meet the needs of our members and the community, some things remain the same ~ PAF’s membership comprises some of the most talented, professional, courteous, and driven paralegals!  I always say, “I do not know everything, but with our membership, I have resources to help resolve any question or be steered in the right direction.” Your support and dedication, which are the backbone of our association, are truly invaluable.

With chapters across the State and a membership of nearly 500, PAF stands as the oldest and largest association in Florida dedicated to promoting the paralegal profession.  Our rich history, now celebrating our 48th year, is a testament to our commitment to community service and professional growth. I am proud to be part of an association that has such a significant impact on the paralegal community.
 
The association is deeply committed to inspiring and motivating up-and-coming and seasoned paralegals to succeed. We do this by providing continuous professional development through education and mentorship and by offering leadership roles in the paralegal community. We are dedicated to seeing every member not just succeed but thrive in their professional journey.

On a State level, we offer an Annual Seminar in the fall, providing continuing legal education on various topics that affect paralegals in the workplace, communities, and beyond.  Further, our Chapters independently offer seminars at multiple times during the year to provide continuing legal education to their local paralegals.  Our members enjoy discounted member rates for all chapter and state events and state-provided member benefits. We support and encourage our members to sit on committees with their local bar associations and the Florida Bar to promote the profession's advancement and ensure that paralegals are recognized and appreciated throughout the legal industry.

As I move into my second term as President, I am filled with excitement and optimism for the future of PAF. Alongside the Executive Committee and our Board of Directors, we are dedicated to providing more resources, fostering committee growth, and developing leadership opportunities. We are actively working on strategies to meet our association goals, and I am confident in our collective ability to succeed. Together, we will continue to inspire professional growth, one paralegal at a time®. 

If you would like to learn more about PAF, please get in touch with me directly or join us at an upcoming Chapter meeting, in person in your area (where available), or virtually across the State. We are not just interested but eager to hear your suggestions and concerns, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
