Additionally, Bradford is active in community and professional organizations. He currently serves on the board of trustees for the Palm Beach Atlantic University, and he recently was reappointed to the Planning Committee for GovEnergy, an energy workshop for federal employees nationwide. He previously served as the chairman of the Florida Hospital Altamonte Foundation board, co-chairperson of development for the Orlando Festival with Luis Palau, and associate board chairman for St. Mary’s and Good Samaritan hospitals in West Palm Beach.
