In The News

Michael Chavies participated in a Q&A with the Miami Herald, following his installment as the 78th president and chair of the Orange Bowl Committee (OBC), a non-profit organization devoted to youth and sports, and the organizer of the nationally-televised Capital One Orange Bowl college football playoff game. The article highlighted many of Chavies' lifetime achievements as a former Eleventh Judicial Circuit Court judge in Miami, a leading commercial litigator at Akerman, and a member of Akerman Bench, one of the largest moot court panels of former appellate and trial court judges among the Am Law 100 firms. Chavies also discussed the vision and strategic priorities of the OBC during his term as president, including key initiatives that benefit youth, their personal growth and athletic development.

"We are focused on five core areas to further inspire our youth, engage our community and enhance the South Florida economy. We want to build all existing community outreach programs, make additional legacy gifts to areas requiring park improvement, expand youth football, promote the Orange Bowl Leadership Academy, and drive additional support from our Orange Bowl fans and sponsors. We want to fill up the seats to the Capital One Orange Bowl game. A sold-out stadium sends a powerful message about South Florida when all eyes are on us."
