Aventura Mayor Enid Weisman was honored by Citizens Interested in Arts (CIA) at their 11th annual Champion of the Arts event held recently at the JW Marriott Turnberry. The CIA is a not-for-profit organization committed to preserving the visual and performing arts in South Florida and provides grants to qualified members of the South Florida artistic community.
This award joins other prestigious awards and recognitions Mayor Weisman has received over the years.

Krop Senior High School- and then rose to Region Superintendent and Chief Human Capital Officer, where she was responsible for 50,000 employees and conducted negotiations with five different labor unions. Her leadership skills and passion to better her community have always been front and center.
