available here<\/a>.<\/p>\nFlorida Bar President Rosalyn Sia Baker-Barnes recruited Morgan last year to chair a newly formed Corporate Counsel Committee.<\/p>\n
Committee members, Morgan\u2019s workmates, and her colleagues in the South Florida legal community have been eagerly anticipating the new discount. Morgan says it will make travel more affordable, less time-consuming, and easier for her to attend Florida Bar Board of Governors meetings and voluntary bar events in the Central Florida area. More importantly, Morgan says, train travel gives lawyers an advantage that driving tends to negate.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, you prepare days ahead for your court events,\u201d she said. \u201cBut the few hours right before you step into the courtroom are the hours where you\u2019re really integrating those last little details, so you can just conveniently and productively get that done on the train.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morgan credits Dania attorney Danielle Anders, a founding committee member and former Brightline assistant general counsel, with facilitating the agreement with the Bar.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s always played an active role in the committee and worked hard to get Brightline\u2019s support,\u201d Morgan said.<\/p>\n
Anders has since left Brightline for another corporate opportunity, but she helped recruit Lisa Gatchell to the committee. Gatchell is Brightline\u2019s vice president for risk management and associate general counsel.<\/p>\n
Gatchell recently appeared with Baker-Barnes on the \u201cA Seat at the Table with Sia\u201d podcast. They discussed Gatchell\u2019s corporate responsibilities, the Corporate Counsel Committee, and the new Brightline initiative.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a position that\u2019s an intersection between legal and business,\u201d Gatchell says. \u201cAt the end of the day, my job is to make sure that all of those decisions are not only legally compliant, but in line with safety and security.\u201d<\/p>\n
