What an incredible afternoon celebrating someone who has truly helped shape Fort Lauderdale into the city we all know and love today. Eye On South Florida was honored to be at the 2026 Downtowner of the Year Luncheon as Dan Lindblade, President & CEO of the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce, received this very well-deserved recognition from the Fort Lauderdale Downtown FTL. For nearly 20 years, Dan has been a steady force behind so much of the growth, connection, and positive momentum throughout our city. From supporting local businesses and bringing leaders together to helping move big ideas forward, his impact on Fort Lauderdale goes far beyond downtown. You could really feel the appreciation in the room as friends, community leaders, elected officials, and business professionals all gathered to celebrate not just Dan’s accomplishments but the kind of person he is. Someone who genuinely cares about this community and has worked tirelessly to make it stronger. Congratulations Dan, and thank you for everything you have done and continue to do for Fort Lauderdale.Mayor Dean Trantalis Heiko Dobrikow Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jack Seiler.
