The National Center for State Courts Presents Mike Bridenback with 2010 Distinguished Service Award

The Office of the State Courts Administrator (OSCA) congratulates Mike Bridenback as the recipient of a 2010 Distinguished Service Award, one of the highest recognitions given by the National Center for State Courts (NCSC).  Justice Peggy Quince, who is a member of the NCSC Board of Directors, presented the award to Mike during the Florida Judicial Branch Leadership Meeting held in Tampa in early January. 

Mike began his career in the court system, at the OSCA.  He worked in OSCA for 17 years, serving as the chief of Management and Coordination (which has subsequently evolved into Court Services).  He also served as the first director of the Dispute Resolution Center, before that became a full-time position.  He was subsequently selected as the Trial Court Administrator for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit where he has served the Florida courts for another 17 years.
