Since 1982, Leadership Florida, a respected non-partisan convener, has taken the lead in Florida for training and developing leaders with a statewide, rather than parochial, view of our state’s resources and needs. The organization produces educational programming for a wide spectrum of Florida’s leaders, including chief executive officers new to the state, seasoned business and non-profit executives, elected officials, young professionals, leaders in Florida K-12 education, and top college and university students. Its members are diverse in opinion, age, gender, geography, skills, interests, experience, ethnicity, occupation, and political affiliation, but unified in their respect for one another, and in their commitment to building a better state for all our citizens.
Leadership Florida, in partnership with the Florida Press Association, has produced 10 statewide televised political debates since 2006 and this year will be producing a debate in the Florida race for United States Senate on October 26, 2016, at Broward College in Davie, Florida.
“I’m honored to be elected as the program chair for Leadership Florida’s 35th class as we seek to unify our state leaders and educate them on Florida’s most pressing issues,” said Garcia. “I have already begun crafting my vision for this class of 55 state leaders, in nearly every major industry and field, as we tour the state together and learn from other leaders.”
A graduate of the University of Miami, Garcia has served in other leadership roles. Garcia resides in Coral Gables.
