| Info | Broward County Mayor Ilene Lieberman has had an influential and well respected political presence in Broward County since she became a Lauderhill City Council Member in 1984. In their endorsement of her for County Commission, the Sun-Sentinel's Editorial board stated that "she has been a dynamic, high energy and high-accomplishment political leader with a capital L ever since she first took office." When she was elected to the County Commission, it is said that she added a whole new dimension.
Mayor Lieberman's accomplishments in the political arena as well as her commitment to community service have been well recognized.

Mayor Lieberman was named the first Vice-Mayor of Broward County in November, 2002.
