Tallahassee on the Move
by Karen Moore on October 25, 2011I am encouraged by the economic growth I see in our region. Major companies are relocating to the Tallahassee area and key services like healthcare are expanding.

The EDC is dedicated to advancing local business, growing target industry sectors and attracting innovative companies to our area. Together with my fellow……
Crowing the Kings and Queens of PR
by Jamie Fortune on April 29, 2011It was billed as an “Evening of Royalty” as the Florida Public Relations Association’s Capital Chapter gathered to recognize outstanding public relations programs during the 2011 Image Awards.

A healthy lifestyle isn’t as difficult as many people think. It’s the result of making a lot of little changes every day, as opposed to giant diet or exercise overhauls that are nearly impossible to maintain.

Giving for a Lifetime
by Karen Moore on December 09, 2010In this wonderful season of giving, I want to share an opportunity to give a special gift that will be appreciated throughout the year. It is a gift that can change a life! Several years ago, my husband Richard and I created the Richard and Karen Moore Scholarship at Tallahassee Community College. The scholarship helps women return to school and ultimately back into the workforce. This year, the scholarship was given to a wonderful student Lorna, who is going back to school to become a teacher. She was raised in an impoverished region of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and……
