Past PAAF Presidents

Our Legacy of Leadership

President Harry Truman once said, "Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better."

It takes leaders to improve communities. It takes leaders to affect positive change and to assist in quality growth and management in communities.

The PAAF has been fortunate to have leadership that has humbly affected change throughout our evolving and improving State of Florida. The Past Presidents of the PAAF are listed below.
