Truex previously served as the association’s first vice president.
“I am honored to continue serving the association by advancing my position on the executive committee,” Truex said. “The board is comprised of such talented public servants, and I am extremely humbled to work alongside them as we represent our communities on many levels.”
As president-elect, Truex also will serve as chair of the finance and audit committees and help oversee policy and advocacy efforts, the association said in a statement.
“Commissioner Truex has excelled during his time as first vice president of the association and proven to his commissioner peers he is the right person to represent them on the executive committee in years to come,” said FAC Executive Director Ginger Delegal. “I am looking forward to seeing his accomplishments as president-elect.”
Joining Truex on the executive committee are President Lee Constantine, a Seminole County commissioner, First Vice President Terry Burroughs, commission chair for Okeechobee County, Second Vice President Michelle Coldiron, a Monroe County commissioner, and Immediate Past President Ralph Thomas, a Wakulla County commissioner.
