LEE COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE LAUREN BAUGH RECEIVES FLORIDA BAR’S MARSHALL R. CASSEDY, SR. AWARD
Lauren Baugh, executive director of the Lee County Bar Association (LCBA), received The Florida Bar’s Marshall R. Cassedy, Sr. Award, presented last week at the Bar’s annual convention in Boca Raton.
Established in 2012, the Marshall R. Cassedy, Sr. Award honors and recognizes the legacy and attributes of Cassedy, who served as executive director of The Florida Bar from 1961-1980. After his death in 2011, a special committee convened to develop recommendations to honor him, and the award was created for extraordinary service to The Florida Bar or to a local bar.
Outgoing Florida Bar President Roland Sanchez-Medina said Baugh’s unwavering dedication, tireless efforts, and exceptional leadership have made LCBA a standout voluntary bar organization in Florida.
“Lauren has demonstrated unparalleled commitment to fostering positive relationships with advertisers, members, the judiciary, and voluntary bar associations throughout the state,” Sanchez-Medina said. “It is truly remarkable how Lauren has cultivated a vast network of lawyers and community business owners, engaging with them in ways that strengthen the LCBA and its impact.”
Baugh’s contributions extend beyond LCBA, as she has played an instrumental role in organizing the Voluntary Bar Leaders Conference for The Florida Bar. Her vision and dedication have made her an invaluable asset not only to LCBA but also to the broader legal community, Sanchez-Medina said.
