Trustee Spotlight
 As the Director of Public Relations for Kendall Regional Medical Center, Peter Jude is committed to working with the business community by dedicating his time on several boards to create relationships that help his community grow and prosper. He has had the opportunity to get involved in the community through various committees and events at Chamber South. His role as Chair of the Education & Business Coalition Committee has allowed him to work closely with educators and other business leaders to help support our schools.
As a committee member, he was fortunate enough to travel several times to Tallahassee with the Dade-Days High School Essay Contest winners to see our Florida Legislature in session.
Peter is an active member of the Governmental Affairs Committee, where he meets and shares his views with local and state elected officials to address concerns important to the community. He is also a Board Member and past Chairman of Chamber South, and has helped lead and shape the organization, with the support and input of the Chamber South membership.
As a Trustee member, Kendall Regional Medical Center has had the great fortune to be part of a leading organization that plays an integral role in the wonderful community that we all share. Kendall Regional Medical Center is committed to providing quality medical care for the community and is proud to have now added trauma services.
