6 Review the Senior Management Team FY 2012/13 Performance Evaluations Griff Salmon stated that the internal unit goals were set higher than the Ops Plan goals and asked the Board members to help staff educate on the value of what EFI is doing. Crystal Sircy reported that her team was accustomed to being Governor focused and working in a high pressure environment dedicated to the mission. Her team welcomes the challenge and the resources to getting things done. Louis Laubscher stated that he had talented people who are capable of doing more with less and need to be paid fairly as part of their overall compensation. Manny Mencia stated that he was blessed to have an experienced team with longevity. His programs focus on target sectors with high wages and high growth potential, mostly in exporting. However to diversify, they will need to find new markets. Al Latimer thanked the board members for doing a great job when called on. He reported that his team had an active year with the Florida Defense Support Task Force, Sites and Building database, community competitiveness, and were looking forward to implementing new programs. Mike Preston explained that it had been a tough but successful session but they had pushed forward with additional funds for Florida Sports and the international team. He explained that EFI is not a state agency with a set budget and that the legislative team and senior staff need to convince the legislature to fund EFI every year. Melissa Medley stated that marketing team had accomplished things that have never been done before. John Webb reported that his first year was a success. Florida Sports developed a grant programs and had a successful senior games. They continued to market golf, fishing, boating, and spring training and implemented a partnership with the professional teams marketing departments on tags, which is the foundation of their grant program. Bob McAdam stated that they spend time every year developing staff from within or recruiting from outside because you need to know what skills are needed to be developed to be ready for the next role. Gray Swoope reported that in March 2011, the team pledged to Governor Scott to represent Florida like it needs to be represented. Partners are satisfied with the work of EFI which is reflected in the relationships with the business community. The numbers speak for themselves. Over the past 2 years, the estimated projects have increased 27%, total jobs increased 28%, and net new jobs increased 41%. Two years ago it was not a seamless system. Basic tools like marketing programs didn t exist. He stated that he is proud of team, but this is just the beginning. All have the good of the state at heart. Alan Becker reminded the committee that the bonus pool was paid from private sector funds. Brett Couch asked senior staff to take a half day to think about constituents. Agree on weighting feedback of constituents. All matter but some do not matter as much as others. Page 2 of 3 6
