On this episode we speak with Commissioner John Meeks from Levy County. Now in his 12th year on the County Commission, Commissioner Meeks is someone who, through a love of his county -- which he calls a little piece of heaven - puts community first. Active in several FAC policy committees over the years, Commissioner Meeks currently serves as the Chairman of the Institute for County Government (ICG) at FAC, where he helps shape education programming for county commissioners. Join us as we discuss what it means to be a commissioner on your first day in office; how to be a student commissioner; and, how to work with diverse issues and individuals in small coastal county.
