This past weekend was VERY well-spent in Charlotte Harbor, Fla., where Florida Law Weekly sponsored - for the third year in a row - The Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference, which is a two-day Florida legal event that brings together leaders from voluntary bar associations across the state for the sharing of information and ideas about ways to engage more members and improve their bars.

This year marks our 50th year in business in Florida, and we felt truly fortunate to be among the best of the best VBA leaders in Florida once again. FLW, meanwhile, sent one of OUR best - Senior Account Manager Jamie Sevor - to represent us at our table during the conference, which took place at the beautiful (and quite new!) Sunseeker Resort in Southwest Florida. And SW Florida is an area of the state where we have MANY Florida Law Weekly subscribers!

But our goal, once again, was to meet current subscribers face-to-face and answer any questions or get any feedback they might have, while also engaging potential new subscribers and telling them about all the ways FLW can help their law practice. We had folks visit our table ranging anywhere from, "Oh, I love you guys - I've been a subscriber for YEARS!" to "I've heard of you, but I'm not a current subscriber - can you tell me more about what you do?" For those latter visitors, we were able to send them home with a 90-day free trial and brief info. kit on FLW's three issues of court summaries we publish weekly, which are available both in print AND online.

Jamie was on hand for new Florida Bar President Sia Baker Barnes' first address since being sworn in during the Opening Session of , and she even got a chance to sit in on a few of the VBLC Breakout Sessions, including "How To Build A CLE," where she took some great notes to help us here at FLW build our own CLE and roll it our statewide here very soon. So stay tuned for that!

VBLC organizer Jeff Doran did an amazing job once again putting this conference, and we appreciate the invite to participate for the third straight year. We always love taking part in the annual VBLC tradition of the basket giveaway, too. This year, Jamie put together a gorgeous Tallahassee coffee basket with local coffee products from various local business, including Ology Coffee Company, Lucky Goat Coffee Company, Ground Ops Coffee Roasters, Madison Social and Ology Distilling. We even tossed in a few brand new custom FLW coffee mugs!

Ultimately, Florida Solo & Small Firm member Amanda Barton was the lucky winner of our basket in the raffle at the end of the conference, and we know she's gonna enjoy it!

Thanks to everyone who visited our table and gave us a chance to tell you more about what we do, and we hope y'all enjoyed the FLW portable fan and hat giveaways at our booth. They seemed to be a big hit!

Had us a lil' photo shoot with the new Florida Law Weekly hats around the Sunseeker Resorts in Charlotte Harbor before we left The Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference this weekend!

We're really happy with how these two new styles of FLW hats - produced locally by our friends at in focUS Apparel in Tallahassee! - came out.

We gave away a ton of them this past week at the conference - along with those awesome portable two-speed fans many of the attendees went home with - and we plan to give away more soon to our subscribers!

Day 1 of The Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference is in the books and we're onto Day 2 today in Charlotte Harbor, Fla., at the Sunseeker Resort.

FLW Account Manager Jamie Sevor held it down for us Friday and met with current subscribers, potential new subscribers and even got a chance to attend a Breakout Session or two!

This conference is always great because it's centered around Florida's voluntary bars and VBAs and their members are who we love to work with at the local level.

We also gave away a couple of our new FLW hats, and our portable fan giveaways for the table seemed to be a big hit with everyone! (We even saw people leaving sessions, b-lining for our table and saying, 'We heard you had a great portable fan. We need one!")

This conference ends around lunch time today, but not before we have another few hours of exhibiting, basketball giveaways and informative breakout sessions.

We're excited to be here and sponsoring for the 3rd straight year. Thanks for allowing us this opportunity, The Florida Bar!

Great afternoon session today at The Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference as FLW Account Manager Jamie Sevor got a chance to slip away from our booth and take in one of the many Breakout Presentations - and it's one that we KEYED in on when we saw the agenda come out! 🔑

Titled, "Plan. Approve. Inspire. A How-to Session for Meaningful, Engaging CLE," this Breakout Session was led by Maritza McGill, director, Legal Specialization and Education of The Florida Bar; Renee Thompson, 2024-2025 chair of Solo and Small Firm Section, The Florida Bar; and Peggy Hewitt, manager, Resources & Services for Florida Lawyers Mutual Insurance Co. (FLMIC)

We were especially interested in this one because we plan to roll out some FLW CLEs soon, and all these tips were really helpful as we work to create Florida Bar-approved programming.

Jamie and fellow attendees learned that planning a CLE seminar doesn’t have to be overwhelming as the panel shared practical tips, real-world examples, and creative ideas. They also learned about the course approval process, discovered free resources and speaker strategies, and left nspired to build CLE programs that engage and elevate!

Thanks for this terrific session, TFB. We learned a lot!

There's a really cool tradition every year at The Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference - one where each VBA and/or sponsor brings a basket for the raffle filled with goodies that "reps" your specific city - and we absolutely love it. ❤️

In fact, not only is it one of our favorite parts of this conference, but we take a lot of pride in the basket that we assemble every year. And this year is no different!

Tallahassee, as some of you may know, is a city. ☕️💲 We have so many strong local brands in our hometown making wonderful coffee products, and we are truly blessed to have all of these small local businesses excelling here.

So this year ahead of the that begins on Friday, we've assembled an All-Star basket filled with some pretty tasty items, including (L to R):
* Ology Distilling -Madison Social G.O.A.T. Creme Vanilla Coffee Liqueur
* Lucky Goat Coffee Snowflake Crunch Vanilla, Hazelnut & Cinnamon Ground Coffee
* Lucky Goat Billy Goat House Roast K-Cups
* French Press Coffee Maker
* Ology Distilling Coffee Liqueur infused with Ology Coffee Co. Cold Brew Espresso
* 2 Florida Law Weekly coffee mugs
* GroundOps Roastery + Bakehouse Guatemalan Caramel & Milk Chocolate Ground Coffee (Pic #4)

Pics #1-4 are items from this year's Florida Law Weekly basket we're bringing. Pic #5 is last year's basket. And Pics #6-8 are a look af the VBLC basket raffle tradition.

The 2025 Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference starts Friday morning at the Sunseeker Resorts in Charlotte Harbor, and we are stoked to be sponsors for the 3rd straight year! And we hope whoever wins our basket this year enjoys their ! ☕️ ⚖️

(P.S. - Shoutout to FLW staffer Jamie Sevor for her hard work every year assembling, designing and wrapping our VBLC basket. She's so good at it, in fact, she could start a gift basket assembly service and it would absolutely CRUSH! 😆 💪)

Awwwww, yeah ... don't look now, but the Florida Law Weekly street team IS BACK IN ACTION this week as we take our talents on ths road for the Annual The Florida Bar Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference on Friday, July 11th, and Saturday, July 12th, at the Sunseeker Resort in Charlotte Harbor, FL.

This event, which is centered around networking and education within Florida's voluntary bar associations, is where we made our GRAND re-entrance to legal events 2 years ago. And we made SO many great connections - and met SO many FLW subscribers and potential subscribers - we've been back every year since as a proud sponsor!

We can't wait to attend the Breakout Sessions and learn about what voluntary bars are up to these days and how they are engaging with their members. And, of course, we will also have a booth with tons of information about how FLW can enhance your law practice, plus all new FLW SWAG. (You like cool hats? What about cool pocket fans that LITERALLY keep you cool? Come see us then!)

The theme this year is "CONNECT. INNOVATE. LEAD," and we can't wait to do just that this week in Charlotte Harbor!

Come find our booth and chat with us, Florida legal community! 🤝 ⚖️
