Patrons of the Florida Forum were treated to an evening with Floridian Carl Hiaasen, Floridian, novelist, and journalist, who recently shared memorable insights during an appearance at the Florida Forum Speaker Series, presented by The Women’s Board of Wolfson Children’s Hospital, Feb. 12.

Hiaasen discussed Florida’s politics, culture and the environment during a thoughtfully moderated dialogue with Florida Times-Union Columnist Mark Woods. Hiaasen, a longtime Miami Herald columnist and author, is also a three-time Pulitzer Prize nominee. He shared numerous personal insights about his life and career, including his early days as a newspaper reporter, the Apple TV adaptation of his novel, Bad Monkey, and his deep love for Florida.
