I was pleased to learn that Florida Atlantic University has selected former Florida House Majority Leader and South Florida business executive Adam Hasner as one of its finalists for the position of university president. I nominated Hasner for the presidential position to Florida Atlantic’s Presidential Search Committee. I’m hopeful that he will be the Florida Atlantic University Trustees’ final choice for this pivotal role at this important juncture in the university’s history. I have personally known Hasner for 16 years and professionally engaged with him over more than a decade when I served as president and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital while Hasner served as a hospital board member. As a board member, Adam played a significant role in overseeing the hospital’s financial health and its development as a tertiary academic medical center in affiliation with Florida Atlantic University in fulfillment of the hospital’s mission to provide world-class health care to our region. Jerry Fedele served as president and CEO of Boca Raton Regional Hospital from 2008 to 2019.
