About the Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations
The Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations (CFLCA) was formed in 1980. Our Bylaws define our purpose as:
“To focus on the issues relating to preservation of the present and future welfare of the City of Fort Lauderdale and its neighborhoods and citizens — be proactive and reactive to those issues, communicate recommendations to the proper authorities, and strive to improve communication and create a stronger partnership between City Government and its neighborhoods.”
A Coalition of Recognized Civic & Homeowner Associations
CFLCA is a coalition primarily of Civic and Homeowner Associations recognized by the City of Fort Lauderdale. Each member Association sends a representative to participate on the Council.
Meetings are held monthly at The 101 Tower every second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM. Everyone is welcome to attend.
CFLCA proactively addresses member concerns by providing informative speakers on current topics and facilitating communication between members and the City. Members participate in committees tackling pressing issues, and recommendations are brought directly to the City Commission and City Manager to ensure the preservation and enhancement of our neighborhoods.
CFLCA is a member of the Citizens’ Committee of Recognition. The City Commission frequently calls upon CFLCA to represent neighborhoods in key decisions — including the City Manager Search Committee, the Reapportionment Committee, and the Centennial Committee. Many of our members also serve as volunteers on various City Advisory Boards and Committees.
