Debra Quade Application package December 8, 2012
Dear Commissioner,
I currently serve on The Miami Beach Commission Of Women committee. I was
appointed by Jerry Libbin in 2011.
1 am an active member of the board. I represent on Pay Equity Issues. I am in charge
of the upcoming Pay Equity Day event on Lincoln Road April 8, 2014. 1 have actively
participated in our annual Women's Health Forum at Mt. Sinai, and our annual Domestic
Violence Awareness day, as well as all the events we support throughout the year,
Because Jerry Libbin is no longer a commissioner, I need a sitting commissioner to
appoint me to this board.
I am asking you to please appoint me so I can continue to do the work that we
accomplish each year. Please take a moment to read my resume and review my
continued activity in Miami Beach on boards, and committees. I am also an alumni of
Miami Beach Leadership Academy and The Citizens Police Academy.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
Regards,
Debra Quade

CERVERA REAL ESTATE,INC. MIAMI BEACH,FLORIDA 2011-PRESENT
PREVIOUS PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
DIRECTOR OF SALES,SITE COORDINATOR,SALES AGENT 2004-2011
Carson Realty/now Douglas Elliman Florida Miami,Florida
In the time I have been with Carson Realty, I have grown with the company
starting out as Broker Associate. Since joining the team I have been entrusted to
work on four projects as site coordinator and director of sales as described:
CITY 24,MIAMI,FLORIDA - I was recruited to sell the remaining units of a
Preconstruction condominium project that was 70% sold. Through heavy
networking and aggressive strategies I succeeded in exceeding the developer's
goals without having a model to show or on site sales office.
THE STERLING. WEST PALM BEACH. FLORIDA - For this condominium
conversion project I was hired to oversee and organize an anticipated quick
sellout. I was liaison between sales and project management. I implemented
several successful programs with lenders, realtors and buyers which contributed
to meeting our sales goal.
THE ANGLERS BOUTIQUE RESORT, MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA This
condominium — hotel project required extensive knowledge of Securities
Exchange Laws pertaining to the sale of Condo Hotels by Licensed Real Estate
Agents. As Director of Sales, I trained agents on Presentation, Hospitality
Management, and Securities Exchange Regulations. We successfully sold a
relatively unknown product in the marketplace to local, national and
international clients.
COLUMBUS LANDING. GRAND TURK This first and only 5 Star Condominium
Hotel located on Grand Turk Island in the Turks and Caicos. Beach front living
with interiors designed by Venus Williams. I was part of a three person sales
team responsible for sales of 700 -2000 sq/ft units. Sales began July 2007 with
20 of 60 units sold as of February 2008. Hurricane closed the project.

DIRECTOR OF SALES,SITE COORDINATOR 1992-2004
Robert Marini Builders Albany,NY
I have grown with the company starting out as Site Coordinator and lead sales
associate. My position immediately advanced to Director of Sales and lead Site
Coordinator. In addition, I was responsible for recruiting, screening, hiring and
training all sales agents for new home sales. I implemented key strategies,
policies and procedures for the company. I was instrumental in all phases of
subdivisions from site review,highest and best use,market analysis,model home
selection, options/upgrades,and projections through to model openings, staffing
and sales. I assisted the marketing department with buyer profiles and
coordinated grand opening events, VIP parties and Co-Broke campaigns. I
developed a successful networking system that increased sales within the Co-
Broke community and with relocation buyers. At the time of joining Marini
Builders,a third generation local family owned and operated business for nearly
25 years and an up-and-coming new home builder, I was intrigued with their
forward thinking and innovative ideas. Within 2 years our combined efforts
brought Robert Marini Builders to Area's #1 New Home Builder in the Capital
Region. www.marini.com
SITE COORDINATOR 1988-1992
The Michaels Group Malta,NY
Considered the Capital Regions #1 Premier New home builder for 40 years.At
The Michaels Group I was responsible for all aspects of new home sales and site
coordinating. www.michaelsjzroup.com
SITE COORDINATOR 1987- 1988
Falcon Pace Schenectady,New York
Was one of three key people within the company that focused on sales and
marketing exclusively for builders. Through our marketing efforts and success
we became recognized and eventually hired by The Michaels Group to organize
and become their in-house sales and marketing team.
