HON. HUBERT
GRIMES
INTERIM PRESIDENT,
BETHUNE-COOKMAN UNIVERSITY
PAM
BRANGACCIO
CITY MANAGER,
CITY OF NEW SMYRNA BEACH
ORDER IN THE COURT.
Hubert Grimes may have retired as a circuit judge, but
he never rests. His 30-year career in the legal profession
includes having served as an adjunct law professor at
Florida A&M University, and Director of the Center for
Law & Social Justice at Bethune-Cookman University.
So, when B-CU trustees needed someone to take the
helm as president last year, it’s no surprise that they
tapped Judge Grimes. In addition to his reverence
for education, he has a long resume of orderly and
methodical problem solving on and off the bench. He
is a published author, an entrepreneur, a speaker and a
community volunteer. Judge Grimes also understands
the inextricable link between education and economic
development. Having him on Team Volusia’s Executive
Board enhances its ability to leverage the resources
of our colleges and universities as we compete for
corporate relocations and expansions.
NO SUBSTITUTE
FOR EXPERIENCE.
There’s a lot to be said for experience, and Pam
Brangaccio has plenty. Starting with a Masters of Public
Administration degree, and continuing with city and
county management positions in several growing
Florida counties, Pam brings great insight and expertise
to her role as City Manager of New Smyrna Beach. Her
experience is valued by her fellow Board Members
of Team Volusia Economic Development Corporation.
“Team Volusia plays a vital role throughout Volusia
County. I applaud Team Volusia investors for working
together to ensure we attract the right companies that
bring the right caliber of jobs to our community.”
