BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Broward County Commissioner Steve Geller has been selected as a policy leader on the Florida Association of Counties' (FAC) Finance, Tax & Administration Policy Committee. This appointment was made by FAC President Michelle Lincoln of Monroe County.

FAC's Policy Committees play a critical role in shaping and advocating for policies that uphold the principle of home rule for Florida counties. Recommendations developed by these committees are incorporated into FAC's Legislative Action Plan, which guides the organization's advocacy priorities throughout the year.

"I'm proud to serve on the Finance, Tax & Administration Committee. Addressing issues like taxation, economic development, and fiscal responsibility is vital to ensuring Broward County, and all Florida counties, remain strong and sustainable. I look forward to collaborating with fellow leaders to develop policies that benefit our communities."

The Finance, Tax & Administration Committee focuses on a broad range of issues including:

• Tax policies and local revenue streams
• State-shared revenue programs
• Economic growth initiatives
• Fiscal management at the local level
• Governance and administrative challenges
• Relations with constitutional officers
• Public records transparency
• Election processes
• Ethics and integrity standards
• The Florida Retirement System

"Advocacy is fundamental to FAC's mission and essential in safeguarding local self-governance. Our policy committees are instrumental in shaping the legislative agenda, and I carefully selected each member for their expertise and commitment to advancing Florida's counties," said FAC President Michelle Lincoln.

Commissioner Geller has also been appointed this year to serve on the FAC Community and Urban Affairs Policy Committee, where he has previously served as Chair and Co-Chair.

Commissioner Geller brings extensive legislative experience to the committees, having served as a Florida State Senator and Senate Minority Leader. 

Commissioner Geller will serve a one-year term, collaborating closely with FAC's executive committee to craft and recommend a legislative platform. This platform will inform the association's priorities for the upcoming 2026 Legislative Session.
