Gov. Ron DeSantis has reappointed Jay Madara to the Central Florida Expressway Authority board of directors, the governor’s office announced Thursday.
Madara, of Windermere, is the current chair of the authority’s ten-member board and was appointed for the remaining three years of the term. The appointment is subject to confirmation of the Florida Senate. He previously served as vice chair.
He is chief financial officer of the Golf Channel and has served on the board since 2014. Madara, a certified public accountant, also is a member of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts board in Orlando.
The authority builds and runs toll roads in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and Lake counties, and has authority to do so in Brevard County as well. Seven of the other board members are elected officials from those counties.
