The USF Sarasota-Manatee Community Leadership Council (CLC) started meeting in January 2002 after being retooled from previous years. It is comprised of
40 community and business leaders,
15 being USF alumni, from the Sarasota-Manatee
County area who represent
15 different industries and sectors, and more
than 25,000 employees.
Clyde Nixon, chairman of Sun
Hydraulics Corporation, is the
2005 chairman. David Hicks, President of Aladdin Ward
Electric & Air and USF alumnus, is the Vice-Chair.
The CLC’s charge is to advise the USF Sarasota-Manatee Campus Board and management
team about program and service priorities, and advocate and present information on campus priorities to the community and elected officials. The
council has
four committees: Community Affairs, Executive, Program, and Public Advocacy.
Jimmy Dean, publisher of Gulfshore Media Group, chairs the Community Affairs Committee;
Nixon chairs the
Executive Committee; Tim Clarke, Clarke Company, is chairman of the Program Committee; and Roger Frazee, a financial
planner and USF graduate, chairs the
Public Advocacy Committee.
The CLC meets quarterly on the USF Sarasota-Manatee campus. For more information on the council’s work, please contact
