The New Establishment

Tallahassee’s Future Leaders Take Charge Today

American novelist Henry Miller once said, “Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognize it as such.” The hard part, of course, is acquiring that vision. Some people seem to be born with it, while for others, vision takes a lot of effort – and perhaps a few lessons learned the hard way – to attain the necessary perspective.

The following 16 individuals are up-and-coming young Tallahassee professionals who have learned to take advantage of those golden moments.  Ambition, work ethic, the ability to communicate and a vision for the future are key ingredients that have contributed to their success.

Having sacrificed their time and energy to make the most of opportunities, they – and our community – can look forward to a great future of leadership.
