Next week, August 23, The Argus Foundation will be hosting Florida Secretary of State Laurel M. Lee at its Meet the Minds luncheon at Michael’s on East Ballroom. These luncheons are hosted for special guests to educate the community about critical issues impacting the community, state and world. Interested community members must register to attend. Seating is limited.

The Secretary of State is Florida’s Chief of Elections, Chief Cultural Officer and the head of the Department of State, which consists of the Office of the Secretary and the Divisions of Administrative Services, Corporations, Cultural Affairs, Elections, Historical Resources, and Library and Information Services. Lee served six years as Circuit Court Judge in Florida’s Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County presiding in the Circuit Civil, Civil Appellate and Domestic Relations Divisions ahead of her appointment as Florida’s 36th Secretary of State by Governor Ron DeSantis in February 2019. During this time, she was a member of the Florida Supreme Court’s Steering Committee on Family and Children in the Courts and the Florida Supreme Court’s Commission on Trial Court Performance and Accountability.
