  • Representing the island in civic matters, engaging with local authorities such as the Charlotte County Board of Commissioners, Palm Island Transit, Fire Department, and Sheriff’s Department.
  • Enhancing infrastructure and services by working with local officials and advocating for residents’ needs.
  • Building connections through social events that bring residents and visitors together.
  • Encouraging youth involvement in community service and education through scholarships and volunteer opportunities.
  • Protecting our environment by partnering with organizations like the Bocilla Islands Conservancy, Inc. and the Don Pedro/Knight Island Sea Turtle Patrol.
