However, anyone who knows Molly will tell you that her family is the greatest asset of her life. A full-time mother to three children, Molly enjoys serving and supporting the educational, recreational, and personal interests of her kids. In addition to serving as a member of the PTA, she volunteers in classrooms throughout Duval County promoting literacy, the arts, nutrition, and youth development activities. Molly works side-by-side with her husband, City of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, on community engagement programs and initiatives that build safer, healthier, and vibrant families and communities. Molly has led and participated in events and activities hosted by Duval County Public Schools, Blessings in a Backpack, the Jacksonville Children’s Commission, Generation WORKS, Rethreaded, the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville, Nemours Children’s Specialty Care, Jacksonville Symphony, Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, and the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund. In addition, she is as equally active in her church, Southside United Methodist Church, where she has led a young girl’s group and coordinated Vacation Bible School. An alumnus of the University of Florida, Molly enjoys working out, reading, and caring for her family and their 10 pets. Dr. Diana Greene Duval County Public Schools Dr. Diana L. Greene became Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools (DCPS), the 20thlargest school district in the nation on July 1, 2018 and serves 130,000 students within 200 schools and manages a $1.7 billion-dollar budget. Prior to her work in Duval, she was the Superintendent of the School District of Manatee County, where she made significant strides forward academically, financially and in terms of its public perception. Known for her positive nature and engaging personality, Dr. Greene initiated her time as Superintendent in Manatee County by putting forward a leadership plan that consisted of what she named the Five C’s: Calmness, Consistency, Civility, Confidence and Community. Leading by example, Dr. Greene has overseen a district that has improved academically to the point that it received a B grade from the state two of the last three years (2015, 2017), after receiving a C grade the previous three years, even in the face of more rigorous standards. In addition, the Manatee District’s graduation rate rose 5.6% during the 2015-2016 school year and was 2.8% higher than the statewide graduation rate. On the financial front, the Manatee District’s fund balance (reserve fund) increased from $17.3 million to more than $25.5 million in the last three years, causing global credit ratings leader Fitch Ratings to raise its financial rating of the District two times in the last three years. Those accomplishments led directly to the passage of two separate countywide tax referendums in a span of 16 months. The first came on November 8, 2016, when Manatee County voters approved the renewal of a 15- year half-cent sales tax to help fund school district capital needs. The second came on March 20, 2018, when voters approved a four-year, one-mill property tax increase to help fund more competitive teacher and staff pay, and to add a half-hour of instruction for students each day. Combined, the referendums are expected to add more than $60 million annually to the District’s budget. Prior to becoming Superintendent, Dr. Greene served as Deputy Superintendent of Instructional Services in Manatee County. During her 33-year career as an educator, she has spent time as a teacher, assistant principal, principal as well as in curriculum development, staff development and in senior executive leadership. On a personal note, Dr. Greene is the daughter of a father who served in the Air Force, and she grew up living in locations all over the United States and abroad. She is married to James Greene, an independent financial advisor, and they have two sons, Aldon and Joshua. Cynthia Griffin Florida Blue Dr. Cynthia Griffin is Florida Blue’s Vice President of Medicare Pharmacy Programs. In this role, she is responsible for managing the Medicare pharmacy operations, developing and integrating new clinical and operational functions in order to promote innovative and compliant programs, as well as transforming pharmacy programs to support changing health care models. She also manages the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) relationship for the Medicare line of business. Griffin has been with Florida Blue since 2006 with over 35 years’ experience in health care. Her experience includes Pharmacy Director for the Duval County Health Department, Pharmacy Director for Humana’s Jacksonville Market, Clinical Assistant Professor for Florida A&M University, Associate Professor of Clinical Pharmacy at the University of Florida College of Pharmacy, Director of Pharmacist Managed Anticoagulation Clinic, and Director of Primary Care Residency Program. Griffin has served on numerous boards and committees including the Downtown Development Authority for the City of Jacksonville, the State Medicaid Physician Prescribing Panel; the American Society of Health Systems Pharmacist Commission on Credentialing. She served on the Florida State Board of Pharmacy from 2009- 2013 (Vice Chair 2011 and Chair 2012). Griffin completed the Executive Leadership Program sponsored by America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) in 2009, Leadership Jacksonville in 2011 and Leadership Florida 2016 (Class XXXIV). She is a 2009 inductee into the Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy Gallery of Distinction. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in pharmacy and a Doctorate of Pharmacy degree from Florida A&M University. She completed an Anticoagulation Traineeship program at the Medical College of Virginia and is a Fellow of the American Society of Health Systems Pharmacist. She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha, Sorority, Inc. and the Bold City Links, Inc. She leads the Women’s Ministry at her church, Wayman Temple AME.

Now, belatedly, is the moment for us to pay such attention.” Air Force General (Ret.) and Former CIA and NSA Director, Michael Hayden: “[It’s] a great idea [to rename bases with Confederate names]” Former Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, Special Assistant to the President, and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Brett McGurk: “Thoughtful reflections coming from currently serving and retired Generals and Admirals [on the need to replace the names of Army bases and remove Confederate symbols]” Former Secretary of the Army, Director of the White House Military Office, and Retired Army Officer Louis Caldera, and Former Ambassador and Retired Decorated Army Officer Charles Ray: “Intentionally or unintentionally, the current name continues to celebrate a cause and set of beliefs that dishonor the sacrifices of all soldiers, regardless of ethnicity who train at this installation.” Former Ambassador and Retired Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, John Estrada: “[The Confederate flag] represents bondage.
