"Proudly Serving the Community 1981"
The City of Tampa Mayor's African American Advisory Council (MAAAC)was formed in 1981 to create a liaison between the Mayor's Office and the African American community whose members are appointed by the Mayor of the City of Tampa.
MAAAC recommends programs and activities which promote good relations among all citizens throughout the City, can consist of up to 25 members with no set terms, and does not require City Council confirmation or oath of office. By-laws do not require City residency, however, the Mayor had made it a preference to appoint only City residents who reside within Hillsborough County.
