Welcome to the F. Malcolm Cunningham, Sr. Bar Association!
Dear Members, Friends, and Supporters
It is both an honor and a privilege to serve as President of this historic organization. As we step into a new bar year, I am reminded of the deep roots and unwavering commitment that have defined FMCBA for over four decades. Our legacy is built on excellence, service, and the belief that true progress requires both intention and action.
This year, our theme is “Sa ou fè se li ou wè” — a Haitian proverb confirming the proverbial truth that “You reap what you sow.” It is a powerful reminder that our collective efforts shape not only the future of this organization but the broader community we serve. Every action we take, whether by mentoring a young lawyer, advocating for justice, financially supporting initiatives and events, or showing up for our neighbors, plants a seed for meaningful change.
As always, our mission remains steadfast: to empower our members through shared knowledge, meaningful professional development, and purposeful networking; to strengthen the legal system through dedicated service, innovative initiatives, and the advancement of diverse perspectives that reflect and uplift our community; and to continue championing the growth and success of Black legal professionals throughout Palm Beach County and beyond.
This year, we look forward to delivering essential continuing legal education (CLE) programming, expanding our presence through purposeful community outreach, and creating dynamic opportunities for membership connection and growth. Whether you are a member, community partner, sponsor, or Palm Beach County resident — your presence, partnership, and participation matter.
Let’s build together. Because what we do is what we’ll see.
With gratitude and purpose,
Ms. Freddelle “Freddie” Menard, Esq.
President, 2026–2027
