An Evening of Leadership and Honor at Mar-a-Lago

Lt. Governor Jay Collins

In the elegant ballroom of Mar-a-Lago, beneath crystal chandeliers and surrounded by patriotic Americans committed to the future of our nation, it was both a privilege and an honor for Chair/Director Celeste Ellich and Chairman Bob Sutton to spend meaningful time with Florida’s Lieutenant Governor, Jay Collins.

As of February 2026, Lt. Governor Collins has been serving the State of Florida following his appointment by Governor Ron DeSantis on August 12, 2025. A decorated, combat-wounded Green Beret and former Republican State Senator, Collins represents a unique blend of military discipline, legislative experience, and executive leadership. His commitment to service — first on the battlefield and now in public office — reflects the very spirit of Florida’s forward-thinking leadership.

The evening was more than a formal gathering. It was a moment of shared purpose. Conversations centered on economic strength, responsible governance, veterans’ advocacy, and the continued growth of Florida as a model for opportunity and constitutional leadership.

Chair/Director Celeste Ellich, known for her dedication to civic engagement and principled advocacy, and Chairman Bob Sutton, long recognized for his work in financial literacy and community leadership in Broward County, appreciated the opportunity to exchange ideas with Lt. Governor Collins in such a distinguished setting.

The photo captures more than just a handshake and smiles — it reflects a shared belief in service, freedom, and the responsibility of leadership. Events like this reinforce that Florida’s future is being shaped not only in legislative chambers but also through meaningful conversations among leaders committed to preserving and protecting the principles that make our state exceptional.

In a time when leadership matters more than ever, the opportunity to connect personally with Florida’s Lieutenant Governor at such a historic venue stands as a memorable and inspiring experience.
