“Gilzean has been a dedicated public servant to the State of Florida, most recently serving as Administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District as the district navigated the transition from the former Reedy Creek Improvement District,” a press release from DeSantis read.
Career Outside of the CFTOD
Outside of his work at the CFTOD, Gilzean has previously served as the Chairman of the Florida Commission on Ethics and President and CEO of the Central Florida Urban League.
Gilzean came under fire after it came out that he was serving on the Florida Commission on Ethics and the CFTOD at the same time, which was in violation of state law. He would eventually resign from the ethics commission.

In his new role, Gilzean will head the Orange County Supervisor of Elections Office as the state begins preparation for the 2024 presidential election. The role has been vacant since Bill Cowles’s retirement in January.
Before his work at the Central Florida Urban League, Gilzean was vice president at Step Up For Students, a scholarship-granting organization in Jacksonville.
