Four Decades. One Mission. With more than four decades in business and no signs of slowing down, Ronald L. Book, P.A. stands as one of Florida’s most wellrespected law firms, specializing in business, and government affairs matters. Founded in 1987, the firm was built on the foundation of Ron Book’s deep experience in public service — experience that continues to shape its results-driven approach today. “Before opening my firm, I had the privilege of serving in both the legislative and executive branches of Florida government, initially working in the Florida House and then as Special Counsel and Director of the Office of Cabinet and Legislative Affairs for Governor Bob Graham, and briefly as Acting Chief of Staff,” Ron says. “Those early years gave me a front-row seat to how laws are made, how government works, and how to make it work better for people.” That insight became the cornerstone of Ronald L. Book, P.A. — a belief that no one should go to court or before a government body without a skilled, ethical and effective advocate. The firm’s team, known for its relentless work ethic and precision, represents a broad range of clients including Fortune 500 companies, cities, counties, health systems, professional associations, and nonprofits. “It’s a full-service law, business, and government affairs law firm handling everything from complex state and local lobbying to land use, zoning, procurement, and complex permitting issues,” Ron explains. “If it deals with government at any level, we know how to get it done.”
At the heart of the firm’s success is its culture of accountability and collaboration. Each matter is managed by at least two team members who challenge one another, debate ideas, and refine strategy until they find the best path forward. “We’re known for mastering the details and staying three steps ahead,” Ron says. “That’s how we’ve earned our reputation as the hardest working team in the business.” The firm’s client work spans industries and issues, from healthcare and transportation to environmental remediation and economic development. Among its recent successes is its work with Related Ross, led by visionary developer Stephen Ross. Ronald L. Book, P.A. assisted the company in its efforts to reimagine and redevelop Palm Beach and West Palm Beach — attracting new businesses, expanding educational opportunities, improving transportation, and strengthening access to quality health care. The firm coordinated across state, county, and municipal governments to help turn those ambitious goals into reality.
“We’re known for mastering the details and staying three steps ahead”

Beyond the boardroom and the halls of government, Ron has dedicated his life to public service. For more than 30 years, he has served as chair of the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust, where he helped develop one of the nation’s most effective homelessness reduction programs. Under the leadership of Ron, the county’s model has been recognized repeatedly by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development as a national best practice. The Trust’s work is supported by a dedicated local revenue source for homeless and domestic violence programs — one of the first of its kind in the nation, was the singular pro bono lobbyist in 1993 during the strategy for successful passage. Since then, unsheltered homelessness has dropped by nearly 90 percent. Every day, Ron and his team bring that same passion and persistence to their clients’ causes. “Our goal is always to know our clients’ business and goals better than they do,” he says. “That’s how you deliver results that make a real difference.” From complex legislative battles to transformative community projects, Ronald L. Book, P.A. has built its legacy on integrity, diligence, and trust — and continues to shape public policy and improve lives across Florida and beyond.

BEYOND THE CANVAS

Nestled in the heart of Coral Gables, The Americas Collection Art Gallery has become a touchstone for collectors and art enthusiasts seeking guidance, authenticity, and lasting value in contemporary art. Established over three decades ago, the gallery is distinguished not only by its curated roster of artists from across the Americas but also by its highly personalized approach to art advising — a process that bridges the emotional, cultural, and financial dimensions of collecting. From its inception, The Americas Collection Art Gallery has embraced a mission that extends beyond exhibition. The gallery was founded on the belief that art serves as both a personal statement and a long-term investment — a philosophy that continues to shape its role in Miami’s vibrant art scene. Its collection showcases modern and contemporary works from Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States, featuring artists whose creativity reflects the region’s diversity and depth. The gallery’s advisory process begins with understanding each client’s unique vision. Whether a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, clients are guided through an experience designed
to align aesthetic taste with curatorial expertise. The process is both educational and collaborative: advisors discuss artistic movements, provenance, and market trends, helping clients discover works that resonate personally while holding value in the broader art market.
Behind this approach lies a team of professionals who combine art historical knowledge with market insight. Their backgrounds in curatorship, conservation, and finance allow them to evaluate acquisitions from every angle — ensuring that recommendations are not only visually compelling but strategically sound. The result is an art advisory service that blends passion with precision, demystifying the collecting process while upholding the highest standards of integrity. What makes The Americas Collection Art Gallery particularly distinctive is its long-standing commitment to representing artists with strong foundations and consistent trajectories. The gallery collaborates directly with its artists, often over decades, developing relationships built on trust and shared vision. This continuity gives the advisory team unparalleled insight into each artist’s evolution — a rare advantage when guiding clients in creating cohesive and meaningful collections.
MIAMIDADEFAVORITES.COM
The gallery’s physical space in Coral Gables mirrors its philosophy: refined, welcoming, and designed to foster dialogue. Visitors encounter a rotating program of exhibitions that range from solo presentations to thematic group shows, each one thoughtfully curated to reflect current dialogues in Latin American and international art. The exhibitions often serve as the foundation for advisory consultations, providing collectors with the opportunity to experience works firsthand before making a decision. In recent years, The Americas Collection Art Gallery has expanded its reach through private consulting for corporations, designers, architects, and developers. Whether sourcing a centerpiece for a residence, developing an office collection that reflects a brand’s identity, or assisting with large-scale commissions, the gallery’s advisory practice adapts to each client’s goals and space. Every recommendation is accompanied by meticulous research, valuation, and logistical coordination — from acquisition and framing to transportation and installation. At the core of this process is transparency. The gallery maintains clear communication with clients at every step, ensuring that each acquisition is documented, ethically sourced, and in line with market standards.
For collectors, this level of accountability translates into confidence; for artists, it affirms that their work reaches audiences who value it as both cultural contribution and legacy. The Americas Collection Art Gallery has earned a reputation as a trusted partner in shaping private and institutional collections that endure. Its success lies not in the volume of sales, but in the longevity of relationships — with artists, collectors, and art itself. In an art world often defined by trends, The Americas Collection Art Gallery stands out for its integrity and depth of purpose. It is more than a gallery; it is a place where expertise meets passion, where each consultation becomes the beginning of a story — one told through the timeless language of art.

Where Faith, Beauty, & Remembrance Meet Our Lady of Mercy stands as Miami’s sacred place of eternal rest.
Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Cemetery — a sacred resting place and landmark of faith and remembrance in the Archdiocese of Miami — is proud to be named a Silver Award winner in the 2025 Miami-Dade Favorites. This recognition honors the cemetery’s longstanding reputation for compassionate service, immaculate grounds, and its deep connection to the Catholic people it has served for more than six decades and is especially meaningful because it comes directly from the community it serves. For generations, Our Lady of Mercy has stood as a ministry of the Archdiocese of Miami dedicated to the corporal work of mercy of burying the dead. Consecrated in 1959, the cemetery has grown alongside South Florida’s Catholic population, providing not only a place of interment, but also a spiritual refuge for those seeking peace, prayer, and remembrance. Its lush landscaping, peaceful lakes, and elegant mausoleum architecture are a setting that inspires reverence and reflection. “Every day, our staff approaches their work as a ministry,” said cemetery leadership in a statement acknowledging the recognition. “This award truly belongs to the families who trust us and to the dedicated team that maintains this sacred space with devotion and respect.” Our Lady of Mercy’s serene environment, combined with the attentiveness of its pastoral staff, has made it one of the most recognizable Catholic cemeteries in Florida. It serves thousands
of families each year, offering traditional ground burials, private and community mausoleum entombments, cremation niches, and special sections dedicated to religious orders and clergy. Many of its features — from glass-front columbaria to the elegant and historic Chapel of Our Lady of Mercy — reflect a blend of tradition and contemporary design, ensuring that each area serves both liturgical and emotional needs with grace. The cemetery is also home to the final resting places of two of Miami’s most beloved public figures — entertainer Jackie Gleason and legendary Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula. Gleason, whose larger-than-life personality made him one of America’s most celebrated performers, is remembered here in a private family mausoleum, reflecting the deep Catholic faith that guided his life. Nearby, Coach Shula, whose record-setting career and devotion to family and faith earned him respect across generations, is laid to rest in his family’s private enclosure. Their choice to rest at Our Lady of Mercy connects the cemetery not only to the archdiocese’s faith community but also to the cultural history of Miami itself. Throughout the year, the cemetery hosts spiritual and community observances, including All Souls’ Day Masses, Memorial Day ceremonies, Holiday and Rosary gatherings for families who return to honor their loved ones. Clergy from throughout the archdiocese participate in these services, reinforcing the sacred bond between parish life and the ministry of Catholic cemeteries.
“Every day, our staff approaches their work as a ministry”

MIAMIDADEFAVORITES.COM
While receiving the Silver award brings welldeserved attention, those who work at Our Lady of Mercy see it as an invitation to continue striving for excellence. “Our role is to accompany families with compassion and to maintain a resting place that reflects the dignity of every person created in the image of God,” said a spokesperson. “Recognition is humbling — but our mission remains the same: to serve, to comfort, and to preserve the beauty of this holy ground.” The award also comes at a time when Catholic cemeteries nationwide are renewing efforts to raise awareness about the importance of choosing burial in consecrated ground. Our Lady of Mercy has been at the forefront of that effort locally, educating families about the Church’s teachings on Christian burial and the sacredness of the places where the faithful await the Resurrection.
For countless Miami families, Our Lady of Mercy is more than a cemetery — it is a living ministry, a testament to faith in eternal life, and a reminder of the Catholic presence woven through the history and heart of South Florida. The Silver award from Miami-Dade Favorites serves as a public affirmation of what has long been known privately: that within its gates, compassion, beauty, and faith come together in a place where memories endure and hope in the Resurrection shines brightly.
