Vice-Chancellor of Community Relations and Student Advancement for Keiser University. In 2018, she welcomed her first grandchild, Isabelina Keiser.

Belinda Keiser has devoted her career to advancing Florida’s economic and workforce development, global competitiveness, education, and healthcare communities. In addition to serving on various governmental boards, Keiser is the Vice-Chancellor of Community Relations and Student Advancement at Keiser University (KU), currently serving for nearly 40 years, and is an advocate for students’ accessibi

lity to higher education and talent development. Under her leadership, KU has grown into Florida’s largest, not-for-profit university, serving 20,000 students pursuing 100 doctoral through associate degrees in many of Florida’s targeted industries. Approximately 20 percent of KU’s student body are active-duty service members, veterans, or military family members. With 21 Florida campuses and 3,800 team members, KU’s annual economic impact is $3 billion and results in more than 30,000 direct and indirect jobs. Regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges as a Level VI institution, KU continues to serve Florida students, families, and employers seeking career-ready graduates. Keiser University is a state and national leader in the production of nursing graduates passing the NCLEX on the first attempt, and actively facilitates clinical partnerships in many of Florida’s premier hospitals. Belinda Keiser is a member of the Florida Children and Youth Cabinet, appointed by Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody in 2020. The vision of the Cabinet, under the leadership of Florida First Lady Casey DeSantis, is for all children in Florida to grow up safe, healthy, educated, and prepared to meet their full potential. In 2017, Keiser was appointed to Florida’s Constitution Revision Commission (2017-18) by former Governor Rick Scott. Florida is the only state in the Union with a Constitution Revision Commission. The 37-member commission meets only once every 20 years to make recommendations for amendments to Florida’s Constitution for consideration by Florida voters. As a member of the CRC, Keiser served as a member of the Executive, Legislative, and Education Committees. Belinda Keiser recently completed congruent nine-year terms as a gubernatorial appointee to the Board of Directors for both Enterprise Florida, the State’s primary economic development board, and Space Florida. She also recently concluded consecutive terms—eight years–as a reappointed member of the 17th Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission. She has served as an Ex-Officio member of the Florida Council of 100, a member of the Board of Florida’s Chamber of Commerce and its Policy Council, and on the Florida Government Efficiency Task Force. Previously, she served as the Chair of Workforce Florida Inc.’s (currently known as CareerSource Florida) Board of Directors from 2005 to 2010. In 2019, Belinda Keiser joined the Foundation for Florida’s Future as a member of the Board of Trustees at the request of former Governor Jeb Bush, citing her commitment to the foundation’s goals of providing access to quality education preparing students for lifelong success. In 2016, Belinda Keiser was entered into the Congressional Record in Recognition of Women’s History Month by Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart and Speaker Paul Ryan for her work in the areas of education, public service, and philanthropy. Belinda Keiser also established the Keiser Mills Foundation, which provides unique scholarship and learning opportunities to students seeking international, entrepreneurial, leadership, and civic engagement experiences as part of their college education in Florida. Keiser University has awarded over $72 million in scholarships to needs-based and academically deserving students over the last two years. She leads by example throughout the University with her charitable and philanthropic efforts for non-profit organizations close to heart, such as the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, and the American Cancer Society. Additionally, she supports many other charitable organizations throughout Florida including private and public schools and their Back-to-School backpack and supply drives, support for first responders, Veterans, medical centers, and other nonprofits. She received a bachelor’s degree from Florida State University, a certificate in paralegal studies from Keiser University, and a Master of Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University. Belinda Keiser has been married to her husband, Dr. Arthur Keiser, for more than 35 years. She is the proud mother of Robert Keiser, a graduate of George Washington University, and Andrea Keiser, her daughter-in-law, a South Florida land use attorney.
