King named to League of Cities Board of Directors

The Town of Fort Myers Beach announced that Town Council member

John R. King was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors for

the Florida League of Cities.

In addition, King was recently elected Vice President of the Southwest

Florida League of Cities.

“This is a tremendous honor and benefit to the Town of Fort Myers Beach,”

King said.

King first joined the Southwest Florida League of Cities in 2023 after Fort

Myers Beach Mayor Dan Allers asked if anyone on the Town of Fort Myers

Beach Council was willing to be a candidate for secretary on the board.

“Having been the secretary of my condo association, I agreed to submit my

name,” King said.

After serving the last two years with the Southwest Florida League of Cities

board, King was nominated by members of the board to the Florida League

of Cities Board of Directors. He was voted in by members of that board in

August.

“It is a big plus for Fort Myers Beach as it allows for our representation at a

statewide level in decisions that impact us,” King said.

Town Manager Will McKannay said that King’s involvement at both the

regional and state level of the League of Cities reflects the town’s

commitment to collaboration and forward-thinking governance.
