Diana Wasserman-Rubin
Commissioner, District 8
and Broward County’s First Mayor
 In
November 2002 the voice of the people would forever change
Broward
County
’s governing charter and as a result Commissioner Diana
Wasserman-Rubin would make history, becoming the very first Mayor of
Broward County.
It’s
not surprising because Diana Wasserman-Rubin has lived a lifetime of
“firsts.” She was the
first Hispanic-American elected to the
Broward
County
board of Commissioners in 2000. The
first Hispanic-American, elected by the nine-member Commission, to
serve as Vice-Chair in 2001. In
1998, she was the first Hispanic female elected countywide to the
Broward County School Board. She
was also the first Hispanic-American to serve on the South Broward
Hospital District Board of Commissioners and the first female to serve
has Chair of the Board. In
addition, she is the first Hispanic-American to be inducted into the
Women’s Hall of Fame. Needless
to say, Diana Wasserman-Rubin continues to serve as a role mode,
motivator, inspiration and mentor to all.
Smart
Head, Strong Heart.
Commissioner
Wasserman-Rubin is an elected official respected for her intellect and
heart. She is known among
her peers as one who is able to build a consensus, first listening to

constituents. Her

Broward
County
have enabled many to achieve what was not within their reach before
