Everyone likes to ask - what is the best FLN - Chapter?

True Answer - every FLN - Chapter that fulfills the FLN - Mission of giving experienced attorneys and professionals a tremendous opportunity to build and develop valuable connections on a long-term basis in the best FLN - Chapter.

However, starting this year, we decided to give the Best Overall FLN - Chapter Award based on the following metrics that help us track excellence in the FLN - organization.

The criteria for the Best Overall - FLN - Chapter of the year is based on the following:

-The percentage of FLN Chapter Members that attend the FLN - Chapter meetings every month;

-The percentage of FLN Chapter Members that attend the FLN - Power Lunches every session;

-The percentage of FLN - Chapter Members that are on the WhatsApp and the FLN - Circle;

-The percentage of FLN - membership growth in the calendar year;

-The percentage of increase in average Chapter meeting attendance.

After factoring all of these different metrics, FLN is very proud to present the FLN - Best Overall Chapter Award for 2023 to the FLN - Fort Lauderdale Chapter.
