As an annual fundraising event that brings together Central Florida’s foremost corporate and community leaders alongside local philanthropists, the Golden Eagle Dinner serves as a platform for recognizing community leaders and their achievements. All generated proceeds from the event contribute to the support and advancement of the Boy Scouts of America.
Commissioner Becker was first elected to public office in 2016 and has served the people of Apopka for eight years. As the current senior member of the City Council, Commissioner Becker has the honor of being the city’s vice mayor and has held the distinction since 2022.
In addition to his duties as commissioner and vice mayor, Becker serves as the board chair of Quest, Inc., a regional non-profit that serves individuals with developmental disabilities; was the vice president of the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District Board of Directors, having served from 2018 to 2022;and is the current chair of the First Methodist Church of Apopka’s Staff Parrish Relations Committee.
Lake Apopka Natural Gas District was formed as a result of the interest of officials from Apopka, Winter Garden and Clermont and certain investment bankers and engineers who recognized the growth potential in West Orange and East Lake counties. They envisioned building a natural gas system for the comfort and convenience of the public and to add to the economic growth of the communities.
As 2024 is beginning, their customer base has expanded to over 28,000 customers. The District has embraced many changes in order to rise to the challenges necessary to provide natural gas and enhance their services to a diverse group of customers, including residential, commercial and interruptible, as well as transportation.
