The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners is gearing up for a change in leadership, with Commissioners Anthony Rodriguez and Kionne L. McGhee set to formally assume their roles as Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively. The two were elected by their peers on November 20 to lead the board for the next two years, and the Oath of Office for their new positions will take place in an installation ceremony scheduled for today, at 4 p.m., at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, according to the county's media advisory.

The installation ceremony is a public event, inviting citizens to witness the commencement of their commissioners' terms. The new Chairman, Anthony Rodriguez representing District 10, will be sworn in by none other than Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives Daniel Perez. Additionally, Vice Chairman McGhee, who represents District 9, along with other commissioners victoriously coming out of this year's electoral race, marks a collective stepping into the promise of governance. These include Commissioner Oliver G. Gilbert, III for District 1, Commissioner Keon Hardemon for District 3, Commissioner Eileen Higgins for District 5, Commissioner Raquel A. Regalado for District 7, Commissioner Roberto J. Gonzalez for District 11, and Sen. René García for District 13, all of whom will swear their oaths during the same event.

Accessibility for those who can't attend is ensured, as the ceremony's proceedings will be broadcast online, members of the community can tune in to the stream starting at 4 p.m. through the official website. The stream promises real-time access to a pivotal moment in the county's political landscape, encapsulating the democratic transition of responsibility.

Sandra Peebles will serve as the emcee for the event. For more details on the installation ceremony, visit the Miami-Dade County advisory page.
