Good morning -
I hope this message finds everyone well. I have been a long time resident (and business owner) in the City of
Miami Beach and would like to get more involved to help this city grow and improve. I submitted an
application several weeks ago but those vacancies were filled (but you should have my resume on file). That
being said, please see below for my application for the following vacancies:
1. Convention Center Advisory Board
2. Police Citizens Relations Committee
3. Parks and Recreation
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns or if there is anything else I can do to enhance my
chances to serve the City of Miami Beach.
Kind Regards,
Nawaz Gilani
