MONROE COUNTY, FL — Monroe County Mayor Pro Tem Jim Scholl was presented with the Certified County Commissioner (CCC) designation from the Institute for County Government (ICG) at an award ceremony held at the Florida Association of Counties (FAC) Annual Conference and Educational Exhibition in Orlando.

“The amount of knowledge exchanged in this program is vast,” Scholl said. “I’ve had the opportunity to make numerous connections with commissioners across the state, which will benefit the well-being of our county.”

The CCC educational program is an initiative comprising of 45 hours of coursework. This program’s curriculum encompasses a diverse range of courses, such as growth management, financial management, and ethics, as well as elective courses such as affordable housing, emergency management, and resiliency.

“The CCC program highlights the quality of local leaders we have in the state of Florida,” said Eric Poole, Executive Director of ICG. “For them to invest their time into completing coursework to benefit their constituents and community, they demonstrate their dedication to going above and beyond the expected duties of a county commissioner.”

The CCC program is made possible through a continuing partnership with the University of Florida/IFAS Extension.
