Vernis and Bowling recognizes and celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month. This celebration honors the diversity, culture and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans. Hispanic Heritage month is celebrated from September 15th to October 15th. This period pays special tribute to and coincides with the Independence day celebrations in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Chile and Belize.
Carl Bober, Managing Attorney of the firm’s Hollywood, FL office is a past President of the Broward County Hispanic Bar Association and continued to serve as an Officer and Board Member for nearly 10 years. During his tenure as President, he advocated for diversity in judicial appointments, represented Hispanic members of the community on a pro bono basis, and promoted social service organizations providing wide-ranging support to recent immigrants and minorities.
The Broward County Hispanic Bar Association (BCHBA) was founded in 1989, a time when diversity was practically unheard of in the local bench and bar. Over the years, BCHBA leaders paved the way for this generation to have opportunities that were never available to them. To date, the Association continues to be a prominent voice for the Hispanic population and pushes for progress. Its aim is to promote diversity, cross-cultural appreciation and equality in the legal profession.
