The John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government at Florida Atlantic University was established in 1982 as an affiliate of the Florida Institute of Government. The Institute’s primary mission is to forge closer government-university ties to address the needs of state, regional, and local governments and non-profit agencies. The Institute’s service area includes Broward, Glades, Hendry, Indian River, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties. The host organization for the Institute at Florida Atlantic University is the Center for Urban and Environmental Solutions (CUES) within the College of Architecture, Urban and Public Affairs (CAUPA).
Our Institute is committed to providing high quality programs at a reasonable cost to the local governments within our ten-county service area. We have met the needs of our constituents through training workshops for all levels of local government employees, technical assistance services, and policy conferences, seminars, and training workshops focusing on issues of public interest or concern.
From July 1 2006 to June 30, 2007, over 11800 participants (representing more than
160 municipalities, 21 counties, and numerous other public and private sector entities) attended more than
650 programs offered or coordinated by the John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government at FAU. The Institute's Steering Committee, which meets three times a year, continued to provide invaluable assistance to IOG staff with regard to the needs of local governments.
In addition to open-enrollment and contract training classes, the IOG helped organize onsite technical assistance projects for Coral Gables, Broward County,
Martin County, St. Lucie County and the Florida Department of Transportation.
In conjunction with the Florida Association of Code Enforcement and the John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government at the University of Central Florida, our Institute coordinated all Code Enforcement certification and recertification programs in south Florida.
The Institute was very pleased to receive the second Adriana Castellano Memorial Scholarship which was established by the Florida Association of
Business Tax Officials to honor the many years of dedication and service of Adriana Castellano. The Institute awarded the $1500 scholarship to
Vicki Rosenthal, a Master of Social Work student within the College of Architecture, Urban and Public Affairs.
In the 2006 - 2007 fiscal year, we presented our eighth open-enrollment series of The Supervisor’s Apprenticeship: Tools for Rising Leaders, a competency-based program offered to individuals targeted as potential future supervisors.
Our Institute updates our constituents about our training classes and seminars through our Web page http://www.fau.edu/fiog. Our newsletter Linkage remains an invaluable tool for getting out the word about the IOG’s programs and services, as well as those of the college and CUES.
WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?
