"I
have watched with great interest over the last 12 years the evolution
of the City of Apopka. There have been many challenges overcome, and
yet there are still so many that lie ahead. I believe it will take strong
leadership to meet these challenges. Leadership that represents the
needs and concerns of our citizens. Leadership that works hard to preserve
the unique family friendly, good neighbor atmosphere Apopka offers to
all. I will bring that style of leadership as Apopka ‘s new City
Commissioner. Together, we can make Apopka the envy of every city in
Central Florida."
Kathy Till and her family came to Apopka over 18 years ago from the
Midwest. Bringing with them their hopes and dreams, the family grew
and thrived in the community, gaining many friends and business acquaintances
that have become their "extended family." Kathy has also seen
her children grow through an excellent education system, and join in
her efforts at being an active, caring member of the community.
Second term Apopka City Commissioner Kathy Till is an 18-year resident of Apopka and became very active in her community immediately upon arriving here from Indiana with her family in 1991. She is the founder of the City’s Adopt-A-Road Program, Youth Advisory Board and Apopka United Against Gangs, an anti-gang initiative started in May, 2008.
Kathy is also the past Chairman of the Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce, First Vice President of Women Elected to Municipal Government, Second Vice President of the Tri-County League of Cities and a member of the Florida League of Cities Advocacy Committee and Chairman of the Growth Management & Transportation Policy Council. She also serves as the statewide representative for Florida’s cities on the Florida Department of Transportation Strategic Intermodal System Strategic Plan Update Committee.
