SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS ALBERTO M. CARVALHO Superintendent of Schools Alberto M. Carvalho has been invited to join the Florida Council of 100 as an ex officio member. The individuals that participate in the Council represent a cross-section of key leadership in the state. Members are expected to have a stake in Florida and in the achievement of the Council’s mission; to have a high degree of success and recognition in their business, profession or public service career; to demonstrate involvement in public policy issues; and to possess the personal qualities of character, personality and leadership ability, as well as the desire to advance the Council’s mission. “I am honored to have been invited to join the Florida Council of 100,” said Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho. “This appointment gives a voice to each education stakeholder in the state of Florida alongside our state's business partners. Public education as an enabler of workforce development is indispensable to the economic viability of our state.” The Florida Council of 100 is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, formed in 1961 at the request of Governor Farris Bryant to provide advice on key Florida issues from a community perspective. The Council has continued that advisory role to the Governor over the years, and today exists to promote the economic growth of Florida and improve the economic well-being and quality of life of its citizenry. The Council was the first of its kind in the United States. # # # 12/JS/341/GC |
