Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced the appointment of Craig Mateer to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
Craig Mateer, of Orlando, is the founder of CCM Capital Group and was the founder and owner of Bags, Inc. He was a campaign donor for DeSantis' failed presidential bid and DeSantis had previously appointed him to the State University System's Board of Governors and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
This appointment is subject to confirmation by the Florida Senate.
A position on the CFTOD board became available earlier this month when Martin Garcia, board chairman of the Ron DeSantis-appointed Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, vacated his position.
Garcia's departure came just days after CFTOD administrator Glen Gilzean took a new job as Supervisor of Elections in Orange County.
The next CFTOD board meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, March 27, 2024.
