Ellen Malasky

Ellen, and her husband, Bruce, have lived in Frenchman’s Creek since May 2015. They are year round residents and have a second home in Deer Valley, Utah. Ellen is originally from New York and Bruce is from Ohio. They have two adult sons who live in Boston but they enjoy visiting Frenchman’s whenever they can. Ellen serves as Vice Chair of both the Legal Committee and External Affairs Committee at Frenchman’s and also sits on the Governance Commit- tee. Ellen and Bruce take advantage of all Frenchman’s has to offer including golf, pickle ball, the beach club, and wine dinners. You will often see them out walking with their dog, Otis.

Ellen is Assistant General Counsel for Florida Power & Light Company. She has been in-house counsel with the company for 17 years. Prior to joining FPL, Ellen was in private practice in Palm Beach having worked in both local and national law firms. She has held many volunteer leadership and appointed po- sitions in the community including Chair of the Consumer Affairs Hearing Board for Palm Beach County, Chair of the Florida Bar Grievance Committee for Palm Beach County, President of the Florida Associa- tion for Women Lawyers Palm Beach County, and is a graduate of Leadership Palm Beach County. Ellen is passionate about charitable organizations and community involvement and currently serves on the Board of the Legal Aid Society, is involved with United Way, American Jewish Congress (AJC), and has held many positions with other organizations over the years, including at her sons’ schools. 1. Why do you want to become a member of the Board and what motivates you? Frenchman’s Creek is an amazing community with much to offer all of its residents. There are many issues facing the community, financial and cultural, that will need to be addressed by the community and its leaders. I believe my experience as a lawyer for a large company that is al- ways looking for ways to improve, innovate and engage, along with my negotiation and problem solving skills, will be an asset to the Board, as we move forward into the next chapter of French- man’s Creek, no matter what the clubhouse outcome is. I have always enjoyed a challenge! 2. What is your vision for the future of Frenchman’s Creek, and as a member of the Board, what specific action plans would you advocate for now to execute your vision? Frenchman’s Creek needs to remain the club that every other club wants to be. We need to de- liver to the members an exceptional clubhouse. We need to make sure that we are listening to all of the members’ concerns and aspirations for their community. Most importantly, we need to be a unified community. I intend to use my legal, problem solving and organizational skills to help deliver all of these things. Ellen received a B.A. in Business and Government from Skidmore College (where she met Bruce) and received her J.D. from Pace University School of Law.
