Candidate: Donna Brosemer

Donna Brosemer served in public policy at the state and local levels for more than 30 years. Her areas of primary interest were higher education, agriculture, natural resources, and local government. 

Two Florida governors appointed her to several state boards: Higher Education Facilities Finance Authority, State Board of Independent Colleges and Universities, and Daytona State College Board of Trustees. She also served on numerous local and state boards, including Judicial Nominating Commission, 15th Judicial Circuit, and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council.

Donna holds a Masters in Criminal Justice Administration and a Bachelors in Public Administration. She attended K-12 in Seminole County, and spent the majority of her adult and professional life in Palm Beach County.

Donna and her husband, Jim, have been married for 30 years. They have a son, Zac, who is retired from Army counterintelligence, is married, and has three children. Their daughter, Niki, is also married, is a professional photographer and owns a Montessori pre-K school. They have two young sons and live in Denver.

The school board is a policy board. Current conditions are the result of current policies. Donna's experience in public policy can assist the district to identify not only what policies may need to be changed, but also how to get that done. She looks forward to being able to contribute to Volusia County's future welfare by improving our foundational education system.
