Before becoming president of FAU . he served as the 15th lieutenant governor of the state of Florida. A native of Cincinnati. President Brogan and his twin brother. John. are the youngest of six children. By earning a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Cincinnati. President Brogan became the first member of his family to graduate from college. His love of learning would eventually lead him to Florida. where he earned a master's in education from Florida Atlantic University. Throughout his professional career. President Brogan has been a champion for Florida's public schools. His philosophy is simply that all children can learn. and that schools must be held accountable for ensuring that learning is provided in a safe and friendly environment. As a former fifth grade teacher. dean of students. principal and superintendent of schools in Martin County. President Brogan speaks from experience. He is familiar with the challenges and opportunities that face our public schools. Elected in 1994 as Florida's youngest commissioner of education. President Brogan made his mark as a staunch supporter of higher academic standards. the development of second chance or alternative schools and the right of teachers to remove disruptive students from their classrooms. His most important legacy as commissioner was bringing greater accountability to Florida schools. During his tenure as lieutenant governor. he was the legislative liaison for Governor Jeb Bush and helped ensure that "promises kept" could be stamped on the platform issues on which he and the Governor ran. The outcomes of policies implemented during President Brogan's tenure as lieutenant governor include reduction of violent crime to a 28-year low in 2000: environmental protection. including the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan: serving the needs of Florida's most vulnerable citizens. especially our children. frail elders and the developmentally disabled: and tax relief of nearly $6 billion. ln addition to serving as a champion for education and children.

  • 1O1 Most Influential Latinos
    Contributors: Kristian Jaime Kimberly Olguin 1O1 MOST INFLUENTIAL LATINOS As usual, these are not all of the leaders, but those in the list are all leaders. Fantastic leaders with a diverse activity, all of them advancing Latinos all over the country and all across industries and professions. All of the leaders included have proven an actual influence on the national scene, not only for the Hispanic community but for the entire country. From lawyers to cabinet members, from media personalities to powerful business figures, this list is a snap shot of the power and influence of Latinos in the US today. Newcomers, like Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has a powerful voice in the entertainment industry, or Agustin Arteaga, the only Latino with the title of Director at one of the most important museums of art in the country, or Andre Arbelaez, who may be the most respected voice for Latinos in the hi-tech industry, make this list a very special one. 1O1 We hope you enjoy reading who they are, where they live, what has been their professional path and even contact them, for these are the leaders forging the future of America. 001 R • Mexican-American 2017 Ruben Salazar Award Alcaraz is best known for his comic La Cucaracha, the first nation- • 1964 in San Diego, CA for Communication at National ally syndicated, politically themed Latino daily comic strip.

  • Charles Patrick Garcia Founder of Sterling Financial Investment Group
    Charles Patrick Garcia Founder of Sterling Financial Investment Group Charles Patrick Garcia has incredible energy. He is known to begin his workday at 5am and stay on task until almost midnight, and his intensity is certainly one of the keys to his success. His company, Sterling Financial Investment Group, has grown 3,000 percent since it inception only three years ago. While cries of recession inspired hiring freezes and e-commerce companies collapsed like houses of cards, Garcia's company "trounced Wall Street". In January 2001, the University of Florida identified Sterling Financial as the fastest growing privately held firm in the State of Florida and the fastest growing minority owned firm. But personal success is not enough for Garcia, a former Air Force captain who has always been imbued with a keen sense of volunteerism and a desire to give back to others. When Garcia takes an objective look at the circumstances of Hispanics in Florida, he sees a national emergency. Garcia devotes 20 percent of the time from his marathon workday, as well as sizeable chunks of his own money, to focus on one compelling goal---to elevate the status and economic power of Florida's Hispanic community on a statewide level. "My main focus is helping the Hispanic community and I do that in a variety of ways. We are the fastest growing minority owned firm in the state---if we can do it, others can do it too. I think it's a tragedy that 40 percent of Hispanics do not graduate from high school," Garcia says.
