FPBCA Honors Two of Their Own
At its meeting on January 30, the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association honored two of their own. Paige Palmer and Ethel Wells are the recipients of the 2009 Kay Meyers Pro Bono Coordinator Award. Normally this is an honor reserved for only one Coordinator per year. However, the nominations for Paige and Ethel were so compelling that a joint award for 2009 was most appropriate.
Paige Palmer & Ethel Wells
The Kay Meyers Pro Bono Coordinator Award honors a pro bono coordinator who is an outstanding coordinator in a local legal services provider as well as an active member of the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association.
Named for Kay Meyers, Pro Bono Coordinator for the Polk County office of Florida Rural Legal Services, this award honors Kay’s dedication to her job, the volunteer attorneys and clients, as well as her significant contributions to the Florida Pro Bono Coordinators Association. Her untimely death in 1992 inspiried the FPBCA to honor her service with this award.
