During the Family Law Section’s Annual Membership Awards and Installation Banquet held on June 25 in conjunction with the Annual Florida Bar Convention, Aimee C. Gross was sworn in as section chair for the 2025-26 Bar year.

Board certified in marital and family law, Gross is the principal of the Law Office of Aimee Gross, P.A., and has been practicing since 2002. In 2013, she was selected to be a Fellow for the Inaugural Class of the Bar's William Reece Smith, Jr., Leadership Academy. She was the chair for the 2016 and 2017 Marital & Family Law Review Course, co-chair of the 2015 Family Law Section Trial Advocacy Workshop, and regularly lectures on various family law matters.

She received her undergraduate degree from Florida Atlantic University and her JD from the University of Miami.

Gross has selected ‘Supporting Today, Reshaping Tomorrow’ as her theme for the 2025-26. The theme will include incorporating a new committee within the section called "Emerging Lawyers" geared specifically for young lawyers and law students, and it will also be a focus of each of the section’s upcoming events, including:
