Similar to Bob Iger’s role in the California business recovery task force, Walt Disney World’s Thomas Mazloum, Senior Vice President of Resort & Transportation Operations has been appointed to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force.

In an effort to work on a measured approach to restarting the local economy from the COVID-19 pandemic, Orange County Mayor Jerry L. Demings has announced the creation of the “Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force” that will be co-chaired by the President of Visit Orlando, George Aguel and Tim Giuliani, the President of the Orlando Economic Partnership.

“These are some of the best and brightest minds in our community, and the public-private Task Force will come up with recommendations to reopen Orange County using the most safe and sensible avenues possible,” said Mayor Jerry Demings.

The group will consist of nearly 50 individuals representing local hospitals, theme parks, financial institutions, hotels, small businesses and non-profit economic development agencies. The Task Force will also include representatives from Lake, Osceola and Seminole Counties.

The group will focus on recommendations for reopening Orange County, including a phased approach to easing restrictions, while ensuring the safety of employees and the public.

The first meeting is set for Wednesday, April 22, 2020 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and will be conducted virtually. You can stream the meeting live via www.ocfl.net/orangetv.
