JEA's Vice President, Technology
Services, Wanyonyi Kendrick, to Sit on Board of Directors
Jacksonville, FL. - October 4, 2001 - Tuesday at a Governor's press conference, JEA VP, Technical Services, Wanyonyi Kendrick, was announced to the Board of Directors of ITFlorida.com, Inc. (www.itflorida.com) Ms. Kendrick has spent most of her career integrating diverse systems and processes to ensure the implementation of measurable results. Ms. Kendrick's results driven approach will ensure that ITF helps Florida become the leading high-tech state in the country and increase Florida's competitiveness in the international market.
The Board of ITFlorida is comprised of top technology leaders
from all of the major technology sectors in the State. One
component of ITFlorida's mission is to provide guidance and
input to the Governor, Legislature and other policymakers
on technology issues confronting the State. ITFlorida is the
private-sector successor to the Information Service Technology
Development Task Force, which was established in 1999 to promote
and coordinate efforts to grow the high-tech sector in the
State. (The Task Force statutorily dissolved in June 2001.)
"Our state is perfectly positioned to serve as the gateway
to the Americas at a time when we can unite the Western hemisphere
through information technology," said Governor Jeb Bush.
"As we expand the high-tech sector in Florida, I hope
that ITFlorida will continue to serve as a catalyst for efforts
to attract, grow and retain the industries needed to provide
the state with a competitive advantage."
"ITF's goal is to promote the common interests of its
members (from all parts of Florida, government and private
sectors) in terms of formulating policy recommendations, leveraging
technology break-throughs and supporting events that focus
on the issues most important to the State of Florida,"
said Kendrick.
ITFlorida has a comprehensive calendar of events, including
legislative briefings for technology executives, meetings
with government officials, a statewide awards banquet and
other industry and educational programs.
