Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi) has elected Fort Lauderdale partner Scott Knapp as its 75th International President-Elect. His installation into the position will be broadcast live from AEPi's Facebook page on July 31. AEPi is the world’s Jewish college fraternity, operating chapters on more than 150 college campuses in four countries.

As the president-elect, Knapp will be a member of the executive committee, a member of the nominating committee, and will assume the chairmanship of the board at the end of the term of the sitting chair. AEPi remains the world's only Jewish college fraternity. The organization, founded at New York University in 1913, currently has chapters in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Austria, Australia, and Israel.

The fraternity aims to apply its mission through acts of brotherhood, Tzedakah, or acts of charity, social awareness, and support for Jewish communities. Knapp has been involved with AEPi since his time spent studying as an undergraduate at Florida State University, where he earned a B.S., magna cum laude. Knapp holds his J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law and has been recognized for his practice by the South Florida Business Journal, Florida's Legal Elite, South Florida Legal Guide, the Daily Business Review, South Florida Business and Wealth, Martindale, Florida Super Lawyers, and the Broward County Bar Association. He is also the past president of the B'nai B'rith Justice Unit (a South Florida voluntary bar association), and served as Chairman of a Florida Bar grievance committee.

In his practice, Knapp has gained experience representing clients in matters involving breach of contract, enforcement of restrictive covenants, class actions, consumer protection, unfair and deceptive trade practices, upstream entity and corporate liability defense, partnership disputes, professional liability, other business torts, and bankruptcy-related litigation.
