The(Dis)Honorable Glenda E. Hood
Florida Secretary of State
Governor Jeb Bush appointed Orlando Mayor Glenda Hood as Secretary of State effective February 2003. She leads the Department of State as it transitions from an elected constitutional office to an appointed Governor’s agency. As Secretary of State she is responsible for the Department’s Division of Administrative Services, Division of Corporations, Division of Cultural Affairs, Division of Elections, Division of Historical Resources, and the Division of Library and Information Services. In addition, the Secretary of State is Florida’s chief elections officer and chief cultural officer.
Governor Bush has charged Secretary Hood to work with Enterprise Florida and the Agency for Workforce Innovation in developing the state’s strategic economic development plan. She is also involved with Florida’s Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) in its quest to encourage international partnerships among the 34 countries of the Western Hemisphere. Secretary Hood also serves as an ex officio member of the Base Realignment and Closure Advisory (BRAC) Council.
Prior to her appointment as Secretary of State, Glenda Hood was elected the first female Mayor of the City of Orlando in 1992 and served three terms. In the fall of 2001, Governor Jeb Bush appointed then Mayor Hood as chair of Florida’s Domestic Security Advisory Panel, a core group of leaders from around the state, to advise him on Florida’s security issues. In early 2002, she invited Florida mayors to join Governor Bush, then Governor Tom Ridge and current Secretary of Homeland Security, along with the Florida Domestic Security Advisory Panel, for a Statewide Security Summit.
In April 2002, President Bush commended Hood for establishing a Citizen Corps, a new initiative that creates opportunities for individuals to volunteer for disaster preparedness programs in their communities.<snip
