The Florida League of Mayors (FLM), an organization for Florida’s Mayors, founded and developed by Florida’s Mayors, announced that Wayne Messam, Mayor of the City of Miramar, was elected President of the Association. He succeeds outgoing President Scott Singer, Mayor of the City of Boca Raton, and will serve a one-year term.
“This is a humbling experience,” said Messam. “This association helps support Florida’s mayors as we each work to serve our communities to the very best of our abilities. While we’re all from different parts of our diverse state, we all share common goals, and the Florida League of Mayors helps us achieve those goals. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to lead this association and its members, and I look forward to the year ahead as we continue working together and learning from one another.”
Messam was first elected to the Miramar City Commission in 2011 and has served as the City’s Mayor since 2015. In addition to his official role with the City, Messam is also a current board member of the African American Mayors Association. He is also a former President of the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials, previously served on the Board of Directors for the National League of Cities and served two terms as Chair of the Broward County Small Business Development Advisory Board. Messam is serving his sixth term on the FLM Board of Directors.
The Association also elected Coral Springs Mayor Scott Brook President-Elect, and appointed members to the Board of Directors.
Since 2005, the Florida League of Mayors has served as the official nonpartisan organization representing Florida’s Mayors. As a membership-driven association, the primary duty of the Florida League of Mayors is to ensure active advocacy and provide a powerful platform for Florida’s Mayors to speak out on issues of important interest to their cities and citizens.
