MAAAC MEMBERSHIP

November 5, 2008 MAAAC Group Picture with Mayor Iorio

The City of Tampa Mayor's African American Advisory Council (MAAAC) was formed in 1981 to create a liaison between the Mayor's Office and the African American community whose members are appointed by the Mayor of the City of Tampa.

MAAAC recommends programs and activities which promote good relations among all citizens throughout the City, can consist of up to 25 members with no set terms and does not require City Council confirmation or oath of office. By-laws do not require City residency, however the Mayor had made it a preference to appoint only City residents who reside within Hillsborough County. 

When a vacancy occurs, the members of MAAAC may recommend names for consideration as replacements. The officers consist of the Chairperson and the Vice-Chairperson.  The duties of the officers are those normally associated with  such positions in accordance with generally accepted parliamentary procedures.

Members meet monthly every second Thursday.  Meetings are held at the Neighborhood Service Center.  Special meetings are scheduled by the Chairperson, as needed. 

At present, there are four standing committees of the organization, and the duties are assigned pursuant to the Council's goals regarding:

• Community Improvement

• Education

• Police/Community Relations

• Economic Development/Employment

If you would like to be considered for membership on MAAAC, please contact the City of Tampa Liaison for more information.
