The Jacksonville University Public Policy Institute presented former City Council President Scott A. Wilson with its inaugural Shircliff Courage Award in recognition of his role in launching a historic and unprecedented city council investigation into the proposed JEA sale and bonus plan in 2019.
Named after Jacksonville University supporter and philanthropist Robert Shircliff, the award recognizes someone who demonstrated courage in service to Northeast Florida.
From new CEOs at some of the city’s largest companies to the death of a giant in the fight for civil rights, these are people who made headlines in Northeast Florida.
