3Rd Annual Induction Ceremony & Gala 3rd Annual Induction Ceremony & Gala Friday, September 16, 2016 ■ Hilton Tampa Downtown ■ 211 North Tampa Street ■ Tampa, Florida Greetings: It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame (FIHF) Induction Ceremony and Gala held on September 16, 2016 at the Hilton Tampa Downtown Hotel in Tampa, Florida. The mission of the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame is to encourage scientific discovery and support a culture of creativity that fuels innovation, drives economic growth, and encourages investment. This third annual event celebrates inventors whose achievements have advanced the quality of life for Floridians, and impacted our state and nation. The 2016 honorees are Dr. William S. Dalton, Founder of M2Gen; Dr. Yogi Goswami, Professor at the University of South Florida; Dr. Alan George Marshall, Professor at Florida State University; Dr. Nicholas Muzyczka, Professor at the University of Florida; Dr. Jacqueline W. Quinn, an Engineer at NASA Kennedy Space Center; Dr. Andrew V. Schally, Scientist and Nobel Prize Recipient; and Dr. M.J. Soileau, Professor at the University of Central Florida. Each of these remarkable individuals has contributed substantially to the enhancement and well- being of our citizens, and impacted positive change. Their induction into the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame is a tribute to the dedication demonstrated over the years to their field of expertise. Their efforts are admired and appreciated. For those of you who are visiting for the first time, I hope you will have the opportunity to explore the many cultural and historical attractions our city has to offer. Whether you visit one of our landmark attractions such as Busch Gardens, The Florida Aquarium and Lowry Park Zoo, ride the streetcar from downtown to Historic Ybor City, or enjoy a meal at one of our fine restaurants, we are sure you will find your time in Tampa to be an unforgettable experience. Of particular significance are the Tampa Bay History Center, Tampa Museum of Art, Glazer Children’s Museum, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, Water Works Park, and the new Perry Harvey, Sr. Park, each honoring our community’s history, heritage and commitment to the arts. Again, welcome and congratulations to the 2016 Florida Inventors Hall of Fame Inductees. I wish you continued success. Sincerely, Bob Buckhorn 2016 Florida Inventors Hall of Fame Induction | 1 TWENTY YEARS AGO, THE INFRASTRUCTURE WAS JUST BEING PUT IN PLACE. TODAY, THE CORRIDOR IS A REGION ON A MISSION AND THE DESTINATION IS IN SIGHT. We are moving full speed ahead to grow as a high tech hub thanks to a partnership between three world-class universities – the University of Central Florida, the University of South Florida and the University of Florida – and local economic development organizations, CareerSource boards, state colleges, high tech industry leaders and others that have grown our 23-county region. The past has led to great achievements … nearly $1.12 billion in economic impact and more than 200 patents from more than 1,350 research projects as part of The Corridor’s Matching Grants Research Program. The path ahead is even more promising. Watch us grow! WWW.FLORIDAHIGHTECH.COM 2016 Florida Inventors Hall of Fame Induction | 3 House of Representatives HON. GUS M. BILARAKIS OF FLORIDA HON.HON.
