Multifaceted Government Affairs Lawyer

It has been my great pleasure to know Mr. Gazitua over the past several years as Special Advisor to the Office of the Mayor, Miami-Dade County. His willingness to accept challenges and listen to input enables him to contribute thoughtful, well-reasoned approaches to helping create innovative solution...s. I have observed Mr. Gazitua involvement in a variety of projects that demonstrate his deep commitment to public service. For example, his direction of the V volunteer initiative resulted in remarkable achievements in our community. I believe he will prove to be a valuable asset to any organization.

Colleague and Collaborator

I have worked Mr. Gazitua for several years in two different capacities, one in the public sector and also in my current position in the private sector. In Mr. Gazitua's previous position as an Advisor for the Mayor of Miami-Dade County he was always responsive and most importantly he had an open... door policy. In his personal time he serves with me on the Board of City Year Miami a non profit organization that helps give teenagers an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. He truly believes in giving back to the community he is a part of.
