As CAO, Kim oversees the Florida Autism license plate program, which is administered by Arc Broward on behalf of the Autism Services Grants Council, which she also chairs.

A non-profit executive with 15+ years of experience, Kim is a Florida native and proud graduate of the University of Central Florida. She graduated Leadership Broward Foundation’s Class XXXIV, and has remained active, previously serving as Foundation board chair.
