Part of me felt it was too small and too “in the middle of nowhere,” and part of me longed to explore its quaint, mysterious charm. Now, as a UF graduate and the founder of my own Gainesville-based company, it’s clear that the latter part of me won. I didn’t just build a resume in Gainesville; I built a life.

Being Jewish and being a Florida Gator are two characteristics with which I identify very strongly and will for the rest of my life. Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to have the honor and privilege to combine these two communities through the interactive and comprehensive programming that comprises Jewish Awareness Month 2006. JAM is an event with a history at UF of over ten years and my entire staff and I believe that this year’s will prove to be one of the best! The fact that the University of Florida boasts the largest Jewish student population of any university outside of the State of Israel is unfortunately a little-recognized fact. Realizing its breadth, I have always been active in the Jewish community at the University of Florida and after traveling to Israel on birthright during the summer of 2005 I became reinvigorated to contribute to the Jewish community at large.

I am pleased to report that in 2012, such collaborations increasingly became the norm. British writer Ian McEwan once wrote, “The beginning is simple to mark.” Years from now, this may be the point in time that defined a new era of achievement for Gainesville. Our city is experiencing accelerated progress in developing an innovation economy and appears ready to shift into a higher gear. In the 2011 Annual Citizen’s Report, I challenged those of us in city government to keep pace by finding better ways to do our jobs. The good news is that across the board, our organization responded and is becoming better by innovating the ways in which we provide high-quality, cost-effective government services to you, our citizens. This new way of looking at municipal service provision goes beyond traditional ways of conducting government business.
