even more convinced that the
professionalism and collegiality
of attorneys practicing in
Palm Beach county especially
those actively involved in the
PBCBA are unsurpassed. Thank

this important achievement.
Gregory P. Huber
2018-19 PBCBA President
Preparing for my final message
I’ve been thinking back on this
past year and can say without
a doubt what I’ve enjoyed most
is meeting so many wonderful
people, many whom I most
likely would not have had the
opportunity to meet if I hadn’t
been president of the Palm
Beach County Bar Association.
My belief that we practice law
in the best county in Florida was
solidified by my experiences and
interactions while serving as
president.
For starters, we have wonderful
Judges who serve our
community at large every day
but also understand the value
of the PBCBA and give so much
of their time to be involved and
interact with our members.
This is invaluable, and I
personally thank each of them
for all they do for the PBCBA.
Secondly, from my personal
dealings and conversations
with attorneys and Judges, I’m
I am very proud of the
accomplishments we achieved
this year, and greatly appreciate
the positive feedback I have
received. However, any of the
successes during my presidency
are the result of the hard work,
dedication, and passion of others,
and I would like to thank them.
First, I would like to thank the
committee chairs and members.
The committees are the
backbone of the PBCBA, and
without the hard work from
our committee chairs and their
members, we never could have
met the goals we set this year.
Last and absolutely not least,
I want to thank our amazing
executive director, Carla Brown,
and all of her staff for everything
they do. To say they encountered
many obstacles this year is
an understatement, but under
Carla’s steadfast leadership,
the Bar continued to serve
its members with little or no
disruption. Presidents and
members of the Board come and
go through the years, but the
executive director and Bar staff
are the constant stabilizing force
that holds this great organization
together. I am thankful for Carla
and her team and know that
the Bar is in capable hands.
Finally, I would like to
congratulate my dear friend,
Jessica Callow, on her
induction as the PBCBA’s next
president. Jessica is extremely
bright, hard-working, and
passionate about the Bar, and
will no doubt serve us well.
I am proud to call Palm Beach
Next, I would like to thank the County my home and to have
Board of Directors. Unlike many been privileged to serve
Boards I have served on in the this amazing organization.
past, the PBCBA Board is a
working Board. Members take on Thank you,
projects throughout the year to,
among other things, ensure the
success of our events, to monitor
and safeguard the viability of the
Bar, to be sure we are fulfilling
our mission and providing value
to our members. The Board is
the engine of the PBCBA, and
I thank them for keeping us
moving in the right direction.
