Clerk Forman, business and other community leaders came together at the Friendship Circle of Greater Fort Lauderdale's annual Business Ambassador Luncheon on 4/28/26. It's all about inclusion and breaking down barriers for adults with unique abilities . Their biggest advocate, Chayale Slavaticki, brings boundless enthusiasm and encouragement that is more than a little contagious!

Clerk Forman was honored to be recognized as a dedicated supporter of Voices of Children of Broward County at their 15th annual gala on 4/18/26. This year's theme was "Capes & Courage: Soaring for Children". The room was full of superheroes coming together to support children in foster care in meaningful ways.

We couldn't agree more!

Another successful seal/expunge workshop event hosted at Broward College on 4/16/26. Always a great example of the good that can happen with multiple agencies work together on behalf of the community!
