Mayor Wayne M. Messam officially installed as head of statewide mayors’ organization
City of Miramar Mayor Wayne M. Messam was today elected President of the Florida League of Mayors, an organization for Florida’s mayors, founded and developed by Florida’s mayors. He was officially installed during the organization’s Florida League of Cities annual conference in Orlando. Mayor Messam will serve a one-year term.
“I’m humbled to have received the vote of confidence by mayors across the state to serve as president-elect. The Florida League of Mayors has a unique voice and is positioned to ensure Floridians receive the necessary resources and legislative action for our communities. I look forward to sharing the successes of Miramar while collaborating with President Singer and the Board of Directors on pressing issues faced by municipalities across Florida,” Mayor Messam stated.
Mayor Messam is no stranger to leadership and success. His accomplishments include being a starting wide receiver and a member of the 1993 National Championship Football Team under late legendary coach Bobby Bowden at Florida State University. Licensed as a General Contractor and a LEED-Accredited Professional, Mayor Messam is a prominent young professional in the construction industry.

The Florida League of Mayors serves as a compliment to the Florida League of Cities.
