For the complete report from the Tallahassee Democrat click on this link

Florida will not be left out of this opportunity to find short- and long-term economic development for our sluggish economy and ailing business community. Two dozen Floridians — at their own expense — will make the trip with a mission to bring home ideas, business prospects, technology, relationships, financing and, most importantly, jobs for Florida.

Local delegates on the Green Jobs for Florida mission include: # Rob Szumowski of North Highland and Highland Worldwide. With a Tallahassee office of 25 employees and other offices in Florida, this strategic management and consulting firm is growing its business and navigating the new low-carbon economy for its clients. # Randy Hanna, managing partner of Bryant Miller Olive and the past chair of the Tallahassee Area Chamber of Commerce. He seeks to grow high-tech, low-carbon business and green jobs for Leon County and position the 40-year-old law firm for the economy of the future. # Olaf Roed from Green Circle Bio Energy, in Cottondale. Green Circle is the world's largest wood pellet plant. The pellets supply power generators for co-firing in coal fired power plants and reduce carbon emissions. The delegates will be able ambassadors for the Sunshine State.
