MIAMI, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Iris Escarrá, co-chair of the Land Use Practice at global law firm Greenberg Traurig, P.A., was appointed to serve as a member of Miami-Dade County's 2025 Charter Review Task Force.

Escarrá was appointed to the new 15-member task force by Miami-Dade County Commissioner Raquel A. Regalado.

The task force is charged with reviewing the Home Rule Charter of Miami-Dade County, conducting public hearings, and ultimately recommending to the County Commission any charter amendment proposals for placement on the November 2026 general election ballot. Adopted in 1957, the charter grants the county the power of self-governance, allowing it to make local laws and decisions, with a task force review required every five years.

The 2025 task force held its first meeting July 10 and has until April 2026 to submit a final report to the County Commission.

"As a proud Miami native, I am honored to join my task force colleagues on this important endeavor," Escarrá said. "I look forward to getting to work and engaging with various stakeholders throughout the community to help make Miami-Dade County a better place for everyone."
