Steve Sauls
Vice President for Governmental Relations (retired Dec. 2014)
Florida International University
An active champion of Miami and Miami Beach since 1980, Steve Sauls has spent much
of the past 24 years helping to build Florida International University (FIU), into a top
public research university and a South Florida anchor institution.
Following a successful career in Washington, D.C. and Tallahassee, Sauls made South
Florida his home. A 5th generation Floridian, he moved to Miami Beach in 1991 when he
purchased and restored 1700 James Avenue as his home (now Casa Tua). In the early
days of the economic renaissance of South Beach, he was recognized for the quality of
this restoration. Subsequently, he served as a founding member and later chair of the
Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council. He was the founding chair of the Miami Beach
Arts Trust. While credited with many achievements on behalf of FIU and the entire
community, Sauls is particularly proud of obtaining permanent annual operating funds for
the Wolfsonian-FIU, This effort allowed FIU to accept Mickey Wolfson's monumental
gift of a world class museum to FIU and secure its retention and sustainability on Miami
Beach. Previously, in the late 80s, Sauls obtained funds to restore the Lincoln Theater
on Lincoln road for the New World Symphony and funds to develop streetscape
improvements on Miami Beach, south of 5th Street.
A successful strategist, Sauls played critical roles in FIU's winning efforts to establish
and fund both a law school and a medical school and funding to expand graduate
programs. Through legislative initiatives, he obtained millions of dollars in research funds
following Hurricane Andrew for the International Hurricane Research Center. His FIU
lobbying secured more than $500 million for academic construction projects.
During a 14 month "sabbatical" at the global corporate headquarters of Office Depot,
Sauls never waivered from his commitment to South Florida. As Vice President of
Corporate Relations at Office Depot, Sauls launched the Fortune 150 company's
governmental relations program and a $7.5 million "Education and Diversity Partnership"
including a $2 million donation to FIU's College of Business. He also oversaw
environmental performance and managed community relations for the company.
With more than 40 years of governmental relations experience both in Washington, DC
and South Florida, Sauls maintains an extensive public affairs network, His career
includes having served as a senior political and legislative advisor, lobbyist, fund-raiser
and communications strategist for Florida elected officials including former Florida
Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham, Florida House Speaker Tom Gustafson,
Commissioner of Education Ralph Turlington and two Members of Congress.
Sauls Bio, Page 2

Sauls is the author of the Refugee Education Assistance Act of 1980 which was created
to provide educational assistance and social services to Marie! and Haitian refugees who
where heavily impacting Miami Beach following their arrival. His environmental work
includes working with Governor Graham in the mid-80s to resurrect the Everglades
Coalition as part of the Save the Everglades program and secure the federal purchase of
Fakahatchee Strand to protect Florida panther habitat.
Sauls Short Bio, Page 2
In addition to a Masters in Public Administration (public finance) from George
Washington University, A Vietnam veteran, Sauls earned a BS in Journalism (public
relations) from the University of Florida with high honors. At UF, he was Editor-in-Chief
of the daily student newspaper, The Florida Alligator, and a member of Florida Blue Key.
In Miami, he has been an active member of the community. Before retirement he served
on the executive committee of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and
Seven/50, Southeast Florida's 50 year/seven county regional planning project. In
Washington, he served as President of the UF Gator Club and the Florida State Society.
Sauls launched FIU's successful University City economic development initiative with
the City of Sweetwater, to build a new urban community integrated with the university.
In addition to winning a coveted U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER grant, this
catalytic initiative has stimulated in more than $150 million in public and private
investment.
In addition to FIU, Sauls has been recognized for his lifetime work by the Greater Miami
Chamber of Commerce, the American Association of Public Universities and Miami-
Dade County Days, as well as Members of Congress and legislative leaders in
Tallahassee. He was honored with the proclamation of Steve Sauls Day on December
14, 2015 by the Miami-Dade County Office of the Mayor and the Board of County
Commissioners. The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities will be
recognizing him at their annual meeting on Miami Beach next Fall. Despite these
achievements, Sauls considers his greatest accomplishments to be the successes of the
many students he has mentored and with whom he regularly consults, He currently
serves on the advisory board of the New Leaders Council, dedicated to cultivating
Miami-Dade County's next generation of community leaders and is an informal advisor
to SaveDade.
