RPOF gets new Hispanic outreach chief
Jim Greer today announced his appointment of Belinda Ortiz, who ran unsuccessfully against state Sen. Gary Siplin, to serve as Director of Hispanic Outreach and Deputy Director of the Minority Outreach and Coalitions Department.
“Hispanic voters in Florida are an important part of our party’s future success and with this appointment of Belinda Ortiz demonstrates that gaining the confidence and ultimately the Hispanic vote is a top priority,” said Greer. “Our emphasis over the last two years in promoting minority outreach has provided great benefit, and I am honored that Belinda is committed to serving our party as we continue this vital mission.”
Ortiz most recently served as president and chief executive officer for Zitro of Orlando Inc., a public relations and business development firm in Central Florida. She previously served as director of public policy for the Central Florida Hotel and Lodging Association (CFHLA).
