Around North Florida

In December 2005, the Regional Community Institute of Northeast Florida, Inc. (RCINEF) was formed in response to a growing realization that Northeast Florida needed a broad-based organization that would initially have as its purpose to advance and promote the vision of regionalism, as it relates to the quality of Northeast Florida’s natural, man-made, economic and social environments.

In fulfilling this purpose the RCINEF initially has three core components:
• The oversight and advancement of the Northeast Florida Regional Leadership Academy
• The creation of a vision for the region’s future • The establishment of Regional Indicators and Benchmarks

The RCINEF is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. It will partner with the Northeast Florida Regional Council for staffing, administrative and fiscal services.

Working Committees:
• Affordable Housing
• Economic Development
• Emergency Preparedness
• Health and Human Services
• Natural Resources
• Transportation
• Budget and Finance
• Revenue Development
