At Florida State University, we intend to help lead that future through research, real-world application, and workforce development. This new $2.1 million investment will establish a campus-scale quantum communication testbed, allowing FSU researchers to move beyond controlled laboratory environments and test quantum technologies under real-world conditions. Special thanks to U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster for his support in securing this federal investment and advancing this important work at #FSU.

The program was a great opportunity to step outside of my day-to-day role, learn from local business leaders, and gain a broader perspective on leadership, strategy, and the challenges facing small businesses. I’m grateful for the people I had the opportunity to learn alongside and the speakers who shared their experience and perspective throughout the program. It was a great experience, and I’m looking forward to putting what I learned into practice and continuing to grow as a leader in the Tallahassee business community. Thank you to JMI and everyone who made the program such a valuable experience.

Bosses for Babies is a statewide initiative of The Children’s Movement of Florida, designed to engage business leaders in boosting their workforce and contributing to community prosperity through family-focused practices.
Impact your bottom line and community prosperity
As the workforce is increasingly demanding flexibility, purpose, and impact from their lives and jobs, Bosses for Babies connects Florida business leaders who champion family-focused practices in their communities.
When working parents are supported, employers reap the benefits of increased loyalty and productivity and decreased turnover costs. They can attract and retain the best talent and see the results in the bottom line.
Family-focused practices decrease employee stress and enhance well-being--allowing parents the time and space they need to support their children’s development. This increases the economic security of families across the community and supports rising kindergarten readiness rates.
Giving back in support of early learning contributes to greater kindergarten readiness rates that translate to better life and health outcomes for children and lower crime rates in the community.
Business leaders know we need to do better
The latest data shows Florida’s kindergarten readiness rate sitting at 50%. This means nearly 90,000 children entering the K-12 system are deemed “unready,” and already falling behind at a critical time in their learning and development. Research tells us it’s difficult to catch up, so we need to do a better job of supporting children and families in the early years.
The Florida Chamber Foundation tracks this data on the Florida Scorecard and recently released new data showing that Florida's economy loses nearly $5.4 billion annually due to child care issues for working parents -

of the seventh annual Golden A.C.E awards at a ceremony held April 27, 2019 at the GFWC
Women’s Club in Tallahassee, FL. This prestigious event was held to recognize the top young
professionals living in Tallahassee that exemplify authentic community engagement, or A.C.E.
“These awards celebrate the young, undiscovered, emerging leaders who are making a difference in
our beloved city,” said Kelli Gemmer, president of the Tallahassee Network of Young Professionals.
“Their passion and dedication help make Tallahassee a city where young professionals choose to
live, work, play, and stay.”
Mayor John Dailey awarded the highest recognition of Top A.C.E. to Britney Smith, public
information and communications manager with the Leon County Government. Aside from cohosting the annual Created Equal Event, she is involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Junior
Woman’s Club of Midtown. She is an active mentor for Junior Achievement in both Godby and
Rickards High School. She is also a professional mentor in the Capital Area Community Action
Agency’s Getting Ahead Program and board member of the Innovative Community Engagement
(ICE) Foundation.
As the Top A.C.E. winner, Britney selected the Jayda Dionne Parker Scholarship Committee as her
charity of choice to receive a $1,000 donation from NYP, a cause close to her heart. Jayda, a college
friend, died from cancer in December 2013 but with Britney's help, her memory lives on. Jayda’s
parents established a scholarship fund for which Britney helps raise awareness and funds.
