There is a lot of chatter about our wonderful “community” here in Tallahassee and I think that conversation is on point.
However, I think it should be in reference to “the people” more. You can have the greatest bars, culture, nightlife, coffee shops but without the right people you have nice buildings but no community.
I spoke to a group of executives at the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce, CEO series event recently and I could not stop chatting and talking about the people in the audience during the talk. Almost every face in the crowd had a story that I knew.
Great stories from bankers to recruiters, media to accountants, lawyers to apparel maker, the room was full of winners that I have been blessed to meet on my professional journey. I have made Tallahassee home twice, the first in 1988 and I was adamantly against it. However, mom was right, I did indeed love it and the community (especially Maclay) welcomed me.
