Subject:Re: Board and Committee Application for Land Use Boards
Liliam,
I was formerly part of the ownership of the Raleigh Hotel during my tenure at Brilla
Group, and I am part of a joint venture that is acquiring ownership of the Giant Motors
lots in Sunset Harbor. No other property ownership interests at this time, though that
will likely change in the future.
I don't currently hold membership in any City of Miami Beach organizations, though am
open to anything that I can do to enhance my current civic and business network. I am
out of town until Monday but will ring you when I am back in town.
Best,
