The Council is a planning and public policy agency. Activities respond to statutory requirements as well as the needs of member units of local government. The policy document that guides all of the Council's activities is the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida.

The Council identifies long-term challenges and opportunities facing Southeast Florida and assists the Region's leaders in developing and implementing creative strategies that result in more prosperous and equitable communities, a healthier and cleaner environment, and a more vibrant economy.

"I am humbled and proud to have been appointed to serve on a board for an organization with an instrumental role in advancing regional strategies," said Commissioner Bovo. "I will work in consensus with the membership in order to move forward the initiatives of the South Florida Regional Planning Council."
