Call for Applicants: Oversight Board Member, Accounting Category

The Appointing Authority for Broward County’s Transportation Surtax is accepting applications from individuals interested in serving on the Independent Transportation Surtax Oversight Board (Oversight Board) in the category of Accounting.

The purpose of the Oversight Board is to provide accountability and transparency in the expenditure of Transportation Surtax proceeds by confirming the statutory eligibility and providing ongoing oversight of Transportation Surtax projects and expenditures.

The Oversight Board is comprised of nine members who are appointed by an Appointing Authority, including one professional in the field of accounting, described as “a person who holds, or within the past three years has held, a license in the State of Florida to practice public accounting, or a person who is practicing, or within the past three years has practiced, public accounting in this state pursuant to the practice privilege granted in Section 473.3141, Florida Statutes”.

The Oversight Board is required by ordinance to meet quarterly; however, the Board may choose to meet more frequently to accomplish its goals. The average time commitment of a volunteer Oversight Board member is 8-10 hours per quarter, associated with each scheduled meeting. To review the meeting calendar and materials, visit the Oversight Board Meetings page. The candidate chosen will serve a four-year term, effective from the date of appointment. If adequate applications are received, an eligible alternate may also be selected in the event the appointee is unable to serve.

To be considered, applications for the Oversight Board position should include the following:

• Resume (please indicate service on other advisory boards, if applicable)
• Certification of No Conflict of interest (must be notarized prior to submission)
• Personal statement of interest in serving, via email or cover letter that includes:
  • Candidate’s residential address
  • An explanation of why the applicant is interested in serving

All application materials should be submitted by email to OversightBoardApplications@Broward.org. Applications received will be reviewed and vetted, until a sufficient number of qualified candidates are identified. Selection is tentatively scheduled for September 2026.
