Susan Durré has been active in community
service throughout her career. Her interests have focused on
both children and the elderly. She has served as a Girl Scout
leader, Cub Scout Den Mother, classroom aide, as well as a

When Miami-Dade County's first nonprofit
corporate guardian was formed, Susan Durré served as its legal
counsel for several years, providing legal service to indigent
pro bono. More recently, she served on the board of directors
of the Alliance for the Aging, Inc., the area agency providing
services to the elderly of Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. She
also served as its Treasurer in 2002.
After the state revised Florida's guardianship
law requiring each judicial circuit to produce an 8-hour
course for guardians, at the request of the court she produced
the course to meet the legislative mandate. At about the same
time, she organized a series of monthly luncheons for
attorneys to meet and hear speakers on the current issues in
probate and guardianship. Corporate sponsorship was secured,
and the series ran for several years.
She served as Chair of the Probate and
Guardianship section of the Miami-Dade County Bar Association
1988-89 and was active in the legislative hearings on
guardianship reform. Previously, she served as President of
the South Miami-Kendall Bar Association from 1978 to 1979.
Recently, she served as President of the Miami Business
Exchange.
Susan Durré has lectured at legal seminars on
probate and guardianship for the bar and civic
groups.
