Miramar Commissioner Carson 'Eddy' Edwards launches 'Community Conversations' to foster open dialogue
MIRAMAR, FL — Commissioner Carson "Eddy" Edwards is proud to announce the launch of Community Conversations, a new event series designed to foster open dialogue between the City of Miramar and its residents. The inaugural event will take place on Wednesday, May 22, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Miramar Multi-Service Complex, located at 6700 Miramar Parkway.
Community Conversations aims to provide a platform where residents and businesses can gain a deeper understanding of the services and resources offered by the City, while also having the opportunity to share ideas, concerns, and suggestions directly with City officials. The first session will highlight the work of the Economic Development & Housing, Financial Services, and Social Services departments.
“This initiative is about bridging the gap between City Hall and the people we serve,” said Commissioner Edwards. “I want residents and business owners to feel empowered and informed, and I also want to hear from them about how we can improve and better serve our community.”
As part of the evening’s program and in celebration of Haitian American Heritage Month, four Haitian American leaders will be recognized for their outstanding contributions to the Miramar community:
-
Farah Larrieux, Director of THELAR Management Group
-
Edna LaRoche-Labrousse, Executive Assistant to Mayor Wayne Messam and Media Personality
-
Rhonda Veersawmy LeBlanc & Pierre LeBlanc, Founders of Rhonda's Eye Alliance Inc.
-
Dessalines Ferdinand, Publisher of Le Floridien Newspaper
This recognition honors their tireless efforts and meaningful impact on the city.
The evening will include interactive discussions, presentations from City departments on valuable programs and resources, a showcase of local talent, complimentary refreshments, and networking opportunities with community leaders and City representatives.
Admission is free, but seating is limited. Residents are encouraged to reserve their spot by visiting CommunityConversations-May.eventbrite.com.
