He stated that the reason for the decision was because he felt like he could represent the fire depart- ment better as a board member than as president.

    Director of Human Resources - Apply by January 9, 2015 All roads lead to Sunrise! Once a sleepy, golf community in western Broward County, it has rapidly grown into an economic powerhouse. As the host of Sawgrass International Corporate Park – the largest business park in South Florida – Sunrise has its own flourishing job market. Sunrise is also home to the internationally renowned Sawgrass Mills Mall (the nation’s largest undercover outlet mall) and the BB&T Center (consistently among the top 15 venues worldwide in terms of ticket sales), a 20,000-seat arena that showcases the Florida Panthers NHL hockey team as well as top entertainers and events. The City's appeal is enhanced by its convenient, accessible location in the heart of the tri-county area and as the gateway to the west coast of Florida: I-75, I-595 and the Sawgrass Expressway all meet in Sunrise, with the Florida Turnpike and I-95 in very close proximity. The City was also the focus of national attention when Barack Obama held one of his last 2008 campaign rallies in Sunrise on national television, and more recently when a resident, 1 Director of Human Resources | City of Sunrise, Florida Melanie Amaro, received international attention for her singing performance and ultimate win on “The X Factor”.

  • Introduction a FIRST Music DJ Is a Part of the Team/Crew Firstly, and Must Understand That the Event and the Games Are the Show
    Introduction A FIRST music DJ is a part of the team/crew firstly, and must understand that the event and the games are The Show. The DJ's performance, however, can make or break the event. Hitting the cues, playing the right tunes, and being consistent, brings out a sense of professionalism that will endure the performance to everyone involved. This is a sporting event, not a radio-station, or someone's iPod, or even a club. The focus is much different. The music must be upbeat and positive, may contain interactive elements, and during matches can create tension and suspense. But the bottom line is that at the end of the day "everybody has a good time", including the DJ. This playbook is written with the intent of taking some of the guesswork out of "what to play and when". It is written with much love for this genre that I call Sportsmusic… The Goal Create a playlist of music that will not only be inspiring, motivating, and uplifting but one that will also create a positive atmosphere that promotes gracious professionalism. We will accomplish this by creating files that are edited to give a "tighter" flow to the games. Create a pattern that is easy to follow with limited chance for downtime or "dead-air". The Game Every year the organizers create a different "game" for the robots. But the pattern and process is the same for the DJ. The "M.C." introduces each team in a 3-team alliance, which plays another 3-team alliance. The robots get in place for part 1 of the match: The Autonomous Period, where the robots must compete without any human intervention.
