Jane has expertly steered this Council for the past for foster teens aged 15 –17, five years as we worked to meet the responsibilities entrusted to us by the Florida Legislature, designed by Family Support the Department of Children and Families, and most importantly, Florida’s youth in foster care. Services of North Florida, to help educate and involve each participant in teamwork, bike safety, healthy Jane has brought to the forefront the importance of listening to the foster youth we serve, nutrition, hydration and the benefits the importance of accountability in Florida’s foster care system, and the importance of of exercise. The teens toured 40 developing public and private partnerships to ensure that quality services are delivered to miles of greenway trails along our youth. In addition, she has created awareness and understanding that neither the child Florida's Gulf Coast. welfare system nor the school system alone can be the parents and educators to our children in foster care. These youth are ALL of our children, and as Jane helped us realize, the foster care system does not work with the assistance of community organizations alone. Instead, it requires that Florida’s citizens become invested in the outcomes of the youth we are granted the privilege to serve. Perhaps Jane’s greatest contribution is that she has redefined the foster care narrative, and developed an approach that has made youth, foster parents and caregivers the focus of our dialogue. Because of Jane, our conversation did not circle around the system of foster care, but instead focused on the care of children. As you all know, we talk about child welfare all the time. Now, thanks to Jane, this term has a new definition—what we really mean is that we want our children to fare well while in our care. We look forward to working with Jane in the coming years. Thank you for your dedication and commitment, Jane! William Booth, Esq.

  • Learn Which Candidates We Supported in Your Community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE in the POLITICAL PROCESS a Message from Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC
    PFIZER PAC & CORPORATE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS REPORT 2005 – 2006 CYCLE Learn which candidates we supported in your community PFIZER PAC ~ OUR VOICE IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS A Message From Rich Bagger, Chairman Pfizer PAC Dear Colleagues: One of our five immediate priorities at Pfizer is to engage more actively and meaningfully with patients, doctors, payers, governments and other key stakeholders. We’re reaching out to these important groups and working harder to meet their needs. We're also working harder to engage all stakeholders in the dialogue on health policy and actively participate in the discussion over how to improve the quality of healthcare, access to medicines, and incentives for innovation. Pfizer PAC is one of the key ways in which we engage with candidates for public office. Through Pfizer PAC, we support candidates who understand the importance of innovative life sciences companies like Pfizer in fighting disease, improving health outcomes, and ensuring access to vital medicines. This report includes a list of candidates and political committees that Pfizer PAC supported during the 2005-06 election cycle. I hope you will take some time to review this report and see which candidates Pfizer PAC supported in your region. This was a successful year for Pfizer PAC. In the past election cycle, Pfizer PAC supported more than 2,277 candidates from both political parties, and at all levels of government. You, and Pfizer colleagues across America, definitely made a difference this past year through Pfizer PAC, by supporting candidates for public office who value access and innovation in healthcare. Thank you for your support—this report explains how Pfizer PAC put your generous contributions to use.

  • From March 30, 2011
    From March 30, 2011 Meeting for nearly 12 hours today, the House Appropriations Committee deliberated several of the House’s budget proposals by its respective appropriations subcommittees. Some of AIF’s top priority measures were included in today’s considerations, including: • HB 1405 Relating to Retirement: The House’s comprehensive plan to reform Florida’s Retirement System (FRS) is anticipated to save the state approximately $710 million. • HB 5101 Relating to Kindergarten through Grade 12 Education Funding: This proposal will allocate more funds towards technological expansion in schools while providing greater flexibility to school districts in implementing state-mandated class size requirements. In the Senate, members passed two growth management measures that have been a top priority for AIF since 2009. HB 7001 Relating to Growth Management and HB 7003 Relating to Affordable Housing, which are now heading to the Governor’s desk for his approval, were part of a landmark growth management bill that was ruled unconstitutional by a circuit court two years ago. Read more about these measures, and more, in today’s edition of the Daily Brief . Health Care This morning, the Senate Health Regulation Committee approved SB 1972 by the Senate Health and Human Services Appropriations Subcommittee. This bill will substantially reform the manner in which Florida's Medicaid Program is administered. Senate President Mike Haridopolos (R-Melbourne) kicked off the discussion by thanking members, particularly Senator Joe Negron (R-Palm City), for taking the time to delve into the details surrounding this important issue. Specifically, he asked for members' support of SB 1972 and said, "This is about access, but this is also about quality".
