Alexandra “Cookie” Echsner-Rasmussen was recognized as the recipient of the 2023 Young Lawyers Division William S. Meador Award. The award is given each year to a young attorney who distinguishes themselves by their commitment to our community through charitable and civil service. The award was established in 2005 to honor the legacy left by William Meador of practicing law with integrity, sincerity and courtesy while recognizing his commitment of giving back to the community.

To develop a plan that will guide its investment in local projects through 2026, the Escambia Children’s Trust wants to engage a broad cross-section of the community.
“The philosophy is that the Children’s Trust belongs to the residents of Escambia County,” said Tammy Greer, the Trust’s executive director. “And we want to make sure that as we’re trying to figure out what the next steps are, we have the public’s input. It’s pretty much just that simple; we want to hear from the community.”
All residents are invited to join the conversation at the upcoming Town Hall sessions: 12:30-2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 8, at the Molino Library, 6450-A Hwy. 95A; 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug.9, at the Brownsville Community Center, 3200 W. DeSoto St.; and 3-5 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 10, at the Tryon Branch Library, 1200 Langley Ave.
