Teresa J. Sopp has recently been elected President of the Nassau County Bar Association.

The local association of attorneys who practice in Nassau County, Florida. In a recent article in the Fernandina Beach News-Leader, local attorney Ross Germano noted, "I think it's going to be real active under Sopp's leadership."

Each year, the Nassau County Bar Association awards a scholarship to a Nassau County student active in the Teen Court Program; this year's $1,000.00 scholarship went to Megan Hoobler, a graduate of Hilliard High School. Sopp presented the award on behalf of the assocation in May.

The association is open to any licensed attorney practicing in Nassau County; membership has grown from six attorneys to nearly thirty.

"We're really a professional networking group dedicated to educating the public about legal issues," Sopp said in the News-Leader article.
