#IAMRIVIERABEACH Ronnie Felder, Mayor of Riviera Beach, Co-Host, Ann McNeill, Dan Calloway Ep.53

After reading the book ACRES OF DIAMONDS by Russell Conwell, I am convinced we are all leaving the diamond mines in our own backyards as we travel around the world looking for larger diamonds, when in fact the diamonds we seek are found within us and our hometown, from whence we came. Therefore, we are calling the podcast, #IAMRIVIERABEACH.  Today's Guest: Mayor Ronnie FelderMayor Ronnie L. Felder grew up in the city which he now leads, the City of Riviera Beach. He is the founding pastor of the Transformation Church of the Palm Beaches and the CEO and executive director of JAY Outreach Ministries, a spiritually-based recovery program for men that was created by his father decades before. Both are located in the City.Mayor Felder has a heart for the people and the city he loves and he puts the needs of city residents and the city, itself, first by giving the residents a voice. He listens; he acts. Indeed, since his election in March 2019, he has been working actively to put strategic plans in place that will create specialized opportunities to educate, protect and empower the city’s youth, to support its seniors and to ensure that city taxpayers are informed and connected. Also, his goal is to align the city with partners and organizations that will build, develop and support local businesses that will, in turn, create more careers and a stronger economy. Alongside his love for Riviera Beach is his love for his wife, Carla, to whom he has been married for 27 years. Together, they have three children.Connect with Mayor Felder:561-670-8701Call into the podcast dial 661-554-9219.
