Jeremy Glazer, Program Director and Jennifer Ator
On June 9, 2011, The Good Government Initiative held its opening dinner at the Little Haiti Cultural Center in Miami. The Good Government Initiative is a program for early-career elected officials from Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties. The program includes speakers, panels, large and small group activities, as well as community tours. The program is designed to introduce elected officials to issues they will be dealing with and develop skills they will need to be effective in office.
I am proud to be a member of the first class. Other members include Patricia Asseff, Vice-Mayor, City of Hollywood; Dwight Bullard, State Representative, Florida District 118; Heather Carruthers, Mayor, Monroe County; Daniel Dietch, Mayor, Town of Surfside; Jorge Exposito, Commissioner, City of Miami Beach; Wendy Harrison, Councilmember, Town of Jupiter; Barbara Kramer, Councilmember, City of North Miami Beach; Keith London, Commissioner, City of Hallandale Beach; Frank Quesada, Commissioner, City of Coral Gables; Raquel Regalado, Board Member, Miami-Dade County Public Schools; Felicia Robinson, Councilmember, City of Miami Gardens; Roxanna Ross, Mayor, City of Biscayne Park; Nora Rupert, Board Member, Broward County Public Schools; Robin Smith-Martin, Board Member, Monroe County Public Schools; Francis Suarez, Commissioner, City of Miami; and Elsa Vazquez, Commissioner, City of West Miami.
The President and CEO of The Good Government Initiative is Katy Sorenson. I am pictured above with Jeremy Glazer, the Program Director, who has a few Miami Springs connections of his own. At the opening dinner, we received a preliminary syllabus and I was surprised to see some friendly faces in the program including Miami-Dade County Director for the Office of Strategic Business Management, Jennifer Glazer Moon and Assistant County Attorney Jess McCarty. I know I am not only going to learn a lot from this very impressive group, but I will develop friendships that will benefit myself and the city for a long time to come.
