Richard Reade, who joined the Town of Lake Park as the Town Manager in January, was recently named as the new president of the Palm Beach County City Management Association for 2026, succeeding 2025 president Leondrae Camel, who serves as the City Manager for the City of South Bay.

The Palm Beach County City Management Association (PBCCMA) was founded in 1985 to provide “a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences concerning local government and enhance local government within Palm Beach County by use of research and factual study.” Its mission is “to promote and encourage excellence in city management in all of Palm Beach County’s 39 incorporated cities, villages and towns.” PBCCMA works to provide information, assistance, and training to its members, local government managers, assistants, and future managers. 

Everyone at the Town congratulates Rich on this honor.
