Commitment to Community
As a proponent of diversity and inclusion, the Mayor has worked with numerous organizations, churches, temples and cultural entities to bring all people together. She has worked with Hispanic Vote and the Town, to encourage voter registration for our growing Hispanic population. Her collaboration with the Indian community established a location for the placement of the Mahatma Gandhi bronze statue at Gandhi Square in Falcon Lea’s Park. Each year the Indian Community gathers at the square to celebrate milestones in Gandhi’s life as well as the Independence of India. Championing the mission of The Davie Jazz Society (a private organization) in the creation of the Connectivity Corridor Compact, we see how music advances the fulfillment of the dream for including all people in the circle of life starting with Davie’s first Jazz Festival prior to the pandemic, to the Davie Jazz Society performing for hospitals, first responders and critical need workers during the pandemic and to 2022 with the pop-up music experiences at various businesses along the newly developed Downtown Davie.
Mayor Paul’s commitment to the entire Davie community is apparent via her tireless schedule that keeps her constantly interacting with Davie residents and advocating on their behalf. She has been a champion for the people of Davie who want to preserve the Town’s unique charm and character. As a proponent of the preservation of our environment, Mayor Paul works on many environmental projects. She completed the Master Gardener course and sought to save wildlife habitat through a variety of programs including NatureScape and the National Wildlife Federation.
As an avid equestrian and horse owner, the Mayor is committed to preserving the rodeo and its historical place in the Town as well as the more than 170 miles of equestrian trails. Not only is Davie prominently known as “Cowboy Town”, but the Mayor continues to work in preserving the equestrian community in an ever-changing world.
