Tampa – Wellington Vice-Mayor Carmine Priore kicked off his one-year term as president of the Florida League of Cities (FLC) with a civic education challenge to city officials statewide. He was formally installed last weekend during the organization’s 82nd annual business meeting and educational conference.
“As city leaders, we all have responsibilities for the civic well-being of our schools, our communities and our citizens,” said Carmine Priore, FLC President, Vice-Mayor of Wellington. “What better way to encourage civics in education than through the association for Florida’s public servants — the Florida League of Cities.”
“I am confident President Priore will continue the great legacy of our League,” said Frank C. Ortis, outgoing FLC president, and mayor of Pembroke Pines. “He is truly a committed public servant and a shrewd municipal official.”
President Priore has been very active with the FLC, serving on many committees and on its board of directors. He also is the outgoing vice president of the FLC and a past president of the Palm Beach County League of Cites.
During his year as president of the FLC, Vice-Mayor Priore hopes to increase civic knowledge, promote better civility and ethics in government, and ultimately produce better governance.
“Vice-Mayor Priore has committed his life to public service and will be a great asset to our organization,” said FLC Executive Director Mike Sittig. “I eagerly anticipate his leadership and presidential platform on civic education.”
Other officers installed were Tallahassee Mayor John Marks, FLC first vice president, and Hallandale Beach Mayor Joy Cooper, FLC second vice president.
The Florida League of Cities, Inc. is the official organization of the 412 municipal governments in Florida, designed and established to meet and serve the needs of Florida’s municipal officials.
