The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners continues to seek applications from county residents to be nominated for gubernatorial appointment to the Escambia Children’s Trust. To be considered, applicants must submit the completed Escambia Children’s Trust application and questionnaire for gubernatorial appointments with an optional resume by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 12.
Resumes and both applications should be submitted via email to boardapply@myescambia.com or mailed to: Jose Gochez, Program Manager,
Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, 221 Palafox Place, Suite 420, Pensacola, FL 32502.
The Board of County Commissioners will nominate three applicants per vacancy to be submitted to the governor for review and potential appointment. Following the Board’s selection, the County Administrator will notify the Governor’s Appointments Office of the selected applicants, and additional steps may be required from the nominees.
To be considered for the Escambia Children’s Trust, Florida Statute criteria include the requirement that nominees have been residents of Escambia County for the previous 24 months and are willing to submit an annual Statement of Financial Interests Form. Florida Statutes also require that gubernatorial appointments represent the demographic diversity of the County’s population.
