Andy Griffiths elected Chair-Elect of United Way of Florida Board of Governors

The United Way of Florida is pleased to announce that Andy Griffiths will serve as its Chair-Elect in 2017-2018. Griffiths, who was elected to the United Way of Florida Board of Governors in 2015, was selected on Friday to be Chair-Elect by Florida’s 32 local United Ways, which serve all of Florida’s 67 counties.

Griffiths served for seven years on the United Way of the Florida Keys Board, including two years as Chair, before moving to the UWFK Advisory Board in July. He said he is looking forward to the challenge of helping to set policy for the statewide United Way.

“I am a big believer in the mission of United Way,” Griffiths said. “I hope my work on the United Way of the Florida Keys Board has made a difference for our Keys nonprofits and I look forward to promoting the important work nonprofits do on a statewide level.”

Griffiths is a member and past Chair of the Monroe County School Board and a past President of the Florida School Board Association. He is also on the Board of the Florida Keys Children’s Shelter, a member of every chamber of commerce in the Keys, and a member of the Rotary Club of Key West.

Griffiths owns Andy Griffiths Charters and Griffiths Property Holdings LLC in Key West. He operates out of Safe Harbor Marina on Stock Island. He started the charter business in 1983.
