White, Robertson Earn Advanced Commissioner Designation
July 6, 2011
The Florida Association of Counties (FAC) has presented Escambia County commissioners Kevin White and Wilson Robertson with their Advanced County Commissioner (ACC) designation following their completion of a comprehensive study program developed by the association.
“The Advanced County Commissioner designation is something every commissioner throughout the state should strive to achieve,” White said. “It shows a commitment not only to your constituents but to all the citizens of the county that you are attempting to do the best possible job you can.”
The ACC program is organized as a series of three seminars with 27 hours of course work. The course content focuses on leadership with an overarching theme of growth and development in Florida.
White and Robertson received the designation along with 28 other county commissioners during an awards ceremony held at the FAC Annual Conference in Orange County, Florida.

Congratulations Mr. Whie and Mr. Robertson for taking advantage of classes that are offered. There is not an employee with the county that wouldn’t take advantage of the opportunity of such job related classes including various County Department/Division Heads. If you want Mr. White and Mr. Robertson to do a better job it will always be an advantage to educate them on how to do it better.
Both Commissioners White & Robertson , will go the distance to help the people in their district. They do have limits , just like any other office. If your not happy with their leadership vote them out, then you can complain about their successors.
What did the trip to Orlando cost the taxpayers, so that White could receive his course completion certificate? And only 28 state wide took part in this program when there are 67 counties with at least 5 commissioners each? Not a very proactive program if you ask me.
Well, I’m glad to know they made the effort to take the optional coursework and personally thankful White helped get the west side of 196 paved.
PLEASE!!!!Book work to get that..should have to really do something to get that…like take care of roads…maybe spend county money wisely..not sell 4-H camp…list could go on and by the way what did it cost us to get the certification
Amen Kay. I guess he can write a book, Learning to Live with Potholes.
I’m glad to know they took the initiative to complete such coursework. I think too many government officials are reactive, so it’s good these guys are proactive instead. I had to call Commissioner White one time, and he put me in touch with the right people and followed up to make the issue was resolved.
Don’t break your arms boys, you may need them when you have
to go back to work.
Does this make him a career politician now? It’s getting near election time, so it’s getting near the time he actually starts doing something….
Give him a break. If you don’t agree with his politics vote him out, but at least he is willing to put himself out there for public service. If you don’t like him then go and run against him
3 seminars with 27 hours of coursework, and he thinks he achieved something. Give me a break.
Mr. White? Wonder how much the taxpayers paid for that? Ha!!!
