In late May 2025, the president of the Florida Forensic League (the state’s speech and debate association), Carol Cecil, resigned this morning after 16 years in office. As a result, Wellington Speech & Debate Coach Paul Gaba was promoted from his position as Vice President – Operations to the FFL presidency, filling out the remaining two years of the three-year term. Gaba says he is looking forward to working with Carol Cecil during the transition, and the other officers, to organize and run some outstanding state championship speech and debate tournaments!
