February 2, 2012   ·   0 Comments

Recognized business and community leader, attorney William Berger,
who serves as senior shareholder and litigation group co-chair for
Greenspoon Marder, as well as managing shareholder of the firm’s
Palm Beach County law offices, has been reappointed by Governor
Rick Scott to the District Board of Trustees of Palm Beach State
College. Berger’s term, which was effective Dec. 22, 2011, will run
through May 31, 2015.

The purpose of the district board of trustees is to establish policies
in alignment with the college’s mission and in accordance with
Florida Statutes and the Florida Department of Education Rules. As
chairperson, Berger’s main role will be to serve as the board advisor
to Dr. Dennis Gallon, president of Palm Beach State College.

Berger had previously been appointed as trustee of the college by
Governor Charlie Crist in August 2007 and served as vice chairman
for a year, before being selected by his peers to serve as chairman
in 2010. As a Florida resident for 37 years and Palm Beach county
resident for 23 years, Berger will bring to the position his extensive
experience and knowledge of the community and college.
“It’s an honor to be serving on the board of such a reputable
institution as Palm Beach State College,” said Berger. “Our goal is
to continue to make Palm Beach State College the institute of first
choice in the county.”

Berger currently heads up business development for Greenspoon
Marder and is credited for much of the firm’s growth over the last
decade. In fact, Greenspoon Marder is one of very few firms which
has continued to grow and prosper during the economic downturn.
It currently has ten offices in Florida, nearly 140 attorneys, 400 staff
and more than 40 different practice areas.
