Throughout her 27-year tenure at the South Florida Regional Planning Council, Executive Director Isabel Cosio Carballo’s primary focus has been the creation of collaborative, broad-based partnerships with public and private sector, non-profit, philanthropic, and community leaders. Ms. Carballo and the planning council have identified areas of opportunity and addressed issues of regional concern such as transportation, affordable and workforce housing, education, access to opportunity, the environment, and economic development. She has spearheaded the Southeast Florida Regional Partnership and its successful application to the US HUD Inaugural Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program.  Ms. Carballo now serves on the boards of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, Life Sciences South Florida, Broward County Climate Change Task Force, Miami-Dade Public Schools 21st Century School Board Advisory Committee, and the Coordinating Council of Broward. “The general purpose of the South Florida Regional Planning Council is articulated in its mission, which is to identify the long-term challenges and opportunities facing Southeast Florida,” she said, “and assist the region’s leaders in developing and implementing creative strategies that result in more prosperous and equitable communities, a healthier and cleaner environment, and a more vibrant economy.” Ms. Carballo spoke with Miami Today reporter Abraham Galvan.
