P.S. (Joe) Shover Citizenship Award Presentation (2024)

Patricia Rathburn receives
P.S. (Joe) Shover Citizenship Award

The Joe Shover Citizenship Award was created to recognize those who best exemplify dedication, activism, and leadership in protecting and enhancing the quality of life in our community.

This year (2024), we honored the Croissant Park Civic Association’s President, Patricia Rathburn. Pat began serving on the Board of Directors in 2007. As President, Pat attends meetings with the District 4 City Commissioner and regularly attends meetings on issues pertaining to District 4 and city-wide issues. 

Pat has worked tirelessly with the city to improve our neighborhood walkability and ADA accessibility and create safer biking paths and lanes throughout the southwest neighborhoods.  She spearheaded Croissant Park’s 100th anniversary party and coordinated activities and events to ensure its success.

Using her legal expertise gained in decades of representing neighbors in real estate transactions, estate planning, and other civil matters, Pat has drafted countless letters and emails to the city regarding issues and projects that directly affect the safety and integrity of our neighborhood.  She has fought for Croissant Park’s best interests, protecting and enhancing our home values and the safety of our residents.

In addition to serving on the Croissant Park Civic Association board, Pat is on the Boards of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society and the City Board of Adjustments.

Pat's dedication to the well-being of our neighborhood, her activism, and her leadership exemplify the qualities of an individual who contributes to making Croissant Park a nice place to live.
