TOM FEENEY
PRESIDENT & CEO, ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES OF FLORIDA, TALLAHASSEE
The advocacy organization for businesses and employers turns 100 this year. AIF employs more than 50 employees and consultants promoting prosperity and economic growth in Florida. Feeney has been president and CEO for nine years. “When I decided to move after law school from Pennsylvania to Florida in 1983, I gave up political ambitions figuring Floridians would never vote for a transplanted Yankee. I get to Orlando, and almost everyone was a transplanted Yankee; I spent 18 years in the Legislature and Congress!” Feeney says.
EDUCATION | Penn State (BS), University of Pittsburgh (JD) |
FLORIDA ISSUE | Workforce development and reskilling in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math and medical) to meet growing demands for technical and STEMM professionals for current and future jobs |
STAYING FIT | I am a compulsive jogger, four miles a day, 365 days a year, including places like the Alps, London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Munich and Jerusalem (where the Israeli secret service protecting us tried to stop me from my run; they failed). |
