Board of Directors

2021-22 BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Throughout its rich history, the Florida League of Cities (FLC) has been honored by the outstanding caliber of the municipal officials serving on its Board of Directors. The active participation of these dedicated and experienced city officials continues to be an important factor in measuring the League’s effectiveness. The result has been 100 years of progressive leadership and innovative programs for Florida’s local governments.

The Board of Directors is the governing body of the League. It is composed of a President, First Vice President and Second Vice President; all past Presidents who are still in office; 32 directors representing 14 geographical districts; a seat for an official serving in his or her 50th or more year in office and one director from each of the state’s 10 most populous cities.

A non-voting member is authorized from the Florida City and County Management Association (FCCMA), and the League’s Executive Director/CEO serves as Secretary-Treasurer.

The duties of the Board and Executive Director/CEO are outlined in the League’s Charter and Bylaws. For a copy, visit flcities.com or call the League at 850.222.9684.
