President’s Welcome Message

GC Murray II, 2026-27 President, Out-of-State Division of The Florida Bar

A Message from the President

Welcome to the Out-of-State Division.

It is an honor to serve as your President and to represent more than 15,000 members living and practicing throughout the United States and around the world. While our members are spread across different jurisdictions and time zones, we are united by a shared commitment to professionalism, service, and the rule of law.

Our Division exists to ensure that distance never becomes a barrier to meaningful engagement. Whether through professional development, networking, advocacy, or leadership opportunities, we are committed to creating value for every member, wherever they call home.

As we move forward together, my focus is on listening, building relationships, and strengthening the programs and services that matter most to our members. We will continue to honor the strong foundation built by those who came before us while embracing thoughtful, incremental improvements that position our Division for the future.

Leadership is ultimately about service. My promise is to lead with integrity, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to advancing the interests of our members and our profession.

I encourage you to get involved, share your ideas, and take advantage of the many opportunities our Division has to offer. Together, we can continue building a Division that reflects the excellence, diversity, and strength of our membership.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve. I look forward to what we will accomplish together.
