Dear Lead ALMs, I hope you’re all doing well. As part of our role within the Real Property, Probate, and Trust Law Section—and in my capacity as Co-Chair of the Communications Committee I am asking all Lead ALMs to send the below to the general membership in your respective Circuit. Colleen and I be submitting a quarterly At-Large Member Communications Committee tracking report to Brenda. To help compile this report, please send a brief update on any recent activity or outreach within your circuit. When doing so, be sure to include me or Colleen in the email. If I don’t receive anything from you, I’ll have no choice but to mark your circuit as having no reported ALM activity for this quarter. Please make an effort to circulate the request to your fellow ALMs within the circuit and encourage participation. This is a great opportunity to highlight your work and strengthen our collective engagement with section members. Thanks for your cooperation, and I look forward to working with all of you on our new initiatives. Warm regards, *Arlene* Udick Lead ALM – 5th Judicial Circuit Co-Chair, Communications Committee RPPTL Section, The Florida Bar _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Wh* Get ready to be part of one of the most dynamic events of the year — the *Attorney / Banker Conference 2025*!
