Follow her on Facebook at "Misty Servia for County Commission".

Misty Servia is a graduate of Florida State University and a professional community planner, certified in the profession with 30 years of experience. She is the first in her family to graduate from college and funded her education by working 3-part time jobs while going to school. She worked for the Manatee County Planning Dept. for nearly 18 years and for King Engineering for 12 years. Her experience on both the private and public sides of land development makes her uniquely qualified to understand the challenges of each. Her work as a project manager requires complex budgeting and organization skills, and all of this experience enables her to find solutions to problems which serve the needs of our community. Unquestionably, this experience will serve her well as a Manatee County Commissioner.

Outside of college, she has lived in the area her entire life. She was part of a team for Manatee County that conducted a housing study, which established a Housing Trust Fund.  She received the “Meritorious Service Award”, the FPZA “Outstanding Innovation Award”, and the APA “Award of Merit” for being part of a three-person team that developed the “Manatee County Youth Planning Commission.”

She was the President of the Gulf Coast Chapter of the Florida Planning and Zoning Association from 2002 – 2004 and received the “Meritorious Service Award” for her participation in developing the 1990 Manatee County Land Development Code for Manatee County.

Ms. Servia has immersed herself in public service. She received a gubernatorial appointment to the Manatee Housing Authority and was appointed last year to the Citizen’s Advisory Committee of the Metropolitan Planning Organization. She is an active member of the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and has worked on the transportation, downtown redevelopment, infill development, and legislative and green initiatives committees. She is on the Board of Directors for the Manatee Community Federal Credit Union, the Leadership Manatee Board of Governors, and is a board member and past-president of the Manatee Tiger Bay. 

She is active with the Bradenton Area Economic Development Corporation and was a member of their “Committee for New Jobs Now” PAC, which worked to educate the public and gather support for an Economic Development Ad Valorem Tax Exemption. This referendum passed.

She is a member of the Manatee County Planning Task Force, a group that reviews and presents ideas for improving development initiatives.  She is also a member of the City of Bradenton Tree and Land Preservation Board and the Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, Economic Development Committee. 

Ms. Servia is a past board member for the Bradenton-Area Economic Development Corporation, Manatee County Habitat for Humanity, Humane Society of Manatee County, the PACE Center for Girls, and the Florida Planning and Zoning State Board of Directors.  She also served as a mentor for the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program for 3 years, was a 5-year mentor for the Manatee Take Stock in Children organization and is a Past-President of the Manatee Seminole Club.

She is married to Joaquin Servia for 24 years and they have 3 children.
