Outstanding Board of Governors

JAMES J. MCDONNELL OUTSTANDING BOARD OF GOVERNORS AWARD

This award is given each year to the outstanding Board of Governor for their years of dedication to the advancement and growth of the Miami Beach Chamber. The criterion to receive the award is to fulfill at least a three (3) year leadership role commitment at the Chamber and exert a positive influence on the Chamber and the community. This award is named after the late James McDonnell, who served as the Chamber’s President from 1972 to 1974 and was an active member for more than 25 years. McDonnell also served as Chairman of the Chamber’s Crime Task Force and as Chairman of the Miami Beach Redevelopment Corporation. His decades of dedicated public service led to the creation of the Chamber’s James McDonnell Outstanding Board of Governors Award in 1993.
