The Florida Association of Counties (FAC) presented Broward County Vice Mayor Stacy Ritter with the Certified County Commissioner (CCC) designation following her completion of a comprehensive study program developed by the association.
Vice Mayor Ritter received the designation along with 26 other county commissioners during an awards ceremony held at the FAC Annual Conference in Miami.
"I served as a Florida State Representative for eight years prior to being elected to the Broward Commission. The roles are different and I want to stay up to date with the latest information on topics that are relevant to serving the people of Broward County," said Vice Mayor Ritter.
Vice Mayor Ritter received her Bachelor of Arts degree in history from Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla., and her Juris Doctor degree from Nova Southeastern College of Law.
She served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives from 1996 to 2004. In 2006, she was elected to the Broward County Commission and was selected to serve as vice mayor in November 2007.
CCC certification is not a requirement to serve as a county commissioner in Florida. However, county commissioners may voluntarily enroll in the program.
"This certification allows our citizen electorate to become experts in county government improving their communities," said FAC Executive Director Chris Holley. "The more than 200 graduates is a testament to the importance of this program to Florida and our counties."
