Hundreds of new families became foster parents and welcomed children in foster care into their hearts and homes. Hundreds more adopted and provided children in our care with a forever family. Together with our partners, we have made extraordinary progress in changing the way we protect children at risk of abuse or neglect. We worked with state and local partners to ensure timely implementation of the Nancy C. Detert Common Sense and Compassion Independent Living Act, giving older foster teens the option to stay in foster care until age 21. Perhaps less visible, but equally vital, we worked daily behind the scenes to ensure struggling Floridians got the food, medical and cash assistance they needed to get back on their feet. We also led the nation in deploying cutting-edge technology designed to protect against identity theft and fraud in the world of public assistance. It’s these and so many other stories that make me proud and humbled to lead Florida’s Department of Children and Families. We couldn’t do the work we do without our incredibly dedicated employees and our committed partners. I invite you to read through these pages and learn more about the many accomplishments we’ve achieved over the past year. As we look back at our accomplishments, we should remember that a car has a small rearview mirror because that is not where we should be looking. We will keep our eyes on the road ahead, as we work together with commitment, determination and teamwork.

  • Christopher Burgess A.A. RIP 4Th December 1927 to 2Nd March 2014
    Christopher Burgess a.a. RIP 4th December 1927 to 2nd March 2014 There was once a famous preacher. Wherever he went people flocked to hear him speak and their faith was greatly strengthened. He thanked God for his success and for the ability to bring people closer to God. But one thing irked him. In his own parish, where people flocked to church, he noticed an old man who was always there at the back of the church. Through every homily that he preached, the old man was clearly saying his rosary. The preacher could see the beads moving through his fingers. So he complained to God asking why this man never really listened to him. After a while, God sent his angel to the preacher who told him, “God said, if it wasn’t for the prayers of this old man at the back of the Church, you would never have been the famous preacher that you are.” There are many famous people noted for their exploits their abilities and talents and whose stories will be read and re-read. What we fail to read about are the people who helped and supported them and put into effect that for which they were famous. These are the people whose stories are written not in books but into people’s lives and hearts, whose memories bring life, love, caring and compassion into the hearts of people every time their story is told. These people are the very essence, the substance of all that is good and creative and of value in life, and without whom there would be no famous people, no great figures, and no great accomplishments.

  • "Make Me Proud out There, OK?"
    Tulane University "Make me proud out there, OK?" June 23, 2014 8:45 AM Jeff Schiffman [email protected] Editor"s Note: In this series of articles, colleagues and friends of Tulane University President Scott Cowen write a remembrance of their work with him. Jeff Schiffman, senior associate director of admission and a Tulane alumnus, provides the final installment in the series. President Scott Cowen and Jeff Schiffman head to Gibson Hall in a photo taken in 2009. (Photo from Jeff Schiffman) Sometime in late September 2005, I was in Dallas getting ready to give the first presentation of my Tulane University admission career to a massive group of high school students and their parents. The Hurricane Katrina flood waters were still receding in NOLA, and Tulane had recently announced we would not reopen until spring. As I was prepping the hotel ballroom for the event, my phone rang. It was my home inspector who inspected the home my father and I had purchased in NOLA a few weeks before the storm: “Every movable object in the house has been destroyed.” I had lost everything. No matter, I thought, the show must go on! A few minutes later, t-minus 30 minutes till the event, my phone rang again. It was my Dad. “Dad, I can"t talk. I am about to give my first Tulane presentation.” Dad: “I know, but hang on, I have someone who wants to say something.” “Jeff. Hi. This is Scott Cowen.” (My parents were attending one of Scott"s “please come back to Tulane” events in Washington, D.C.) SC: “Your dad tells me you work for Tulane and are out there fighting the good fight for us right now.” Me: “Yes, sir, I am about to speak to a big group in Dallas.” SC: “Great.
