Extraordinary Leaders Celebrated at EDC Annual Event
Gary R. Cunningham Distinguished Service Award & Volunteer of the Year
Recipients Announced
Brevard County, FL (October 20, 2016) – The Economic Development
Commission of Florida’s Space Coast (EDC) is pleased to announce that
its 2016 Annual Meeting was met with a full house at the Harris
Technology Center in Palm Bay as the EDC celebrated another year of
success.
During the evening’s presentation, the EDC honored two distinguished
individuals who have made a profound impact on economic development and
the community.
The 2016 EDC Volunteer of the Year was presented to Mike Ennis, EDC
Industry Council Chair and Manufacturing Engineer for Harris Government
Communications Systems. Mike significantly contributed to the recent
formation of the Regional Manufacturing Association of the Space Coast
(MASC). He worked closely with the EDC to help reshape the way we
address the needs of our manufacturing industry.
“The contributions Mike has made to the EDC are immeasurable and
demonstrate his dedication to his craft and to the EDC. We are fortunate
to tap into his expertise and look forward to his future contributions
to our organization and the community,” stated Lynda Weatherman,
president & CEO of the Economic Development Commission of Florida’s
Space Coast.
The Gary R. Cunningham Distinguished Service Award for Economic
Development aims to highlight an individual who has contributed
significantly to the economic advancement of Brevard County. The EDC
recognized the late Bjornar Hermansen with the award.
Mr. Hermansen’s business savvy shaped a platform on which others could
build to support the development of Port Canaveral as the 2nd largest
cruise port in the country. Bjornar, however, was more than a successful
entrepreneur, Bjornar and his wife Bjorn dedicated their time, talent
and treasure to a wide range of causes in Brevard County. Accepting the
award on Bjornar’s behalf, was his son Tom Hermansen, Partner, Ocean
Partners Associates, LTD.
During his acceptance speech, Tom stated, “He (Bjornar) was never one
to seek out recognition for what he did, but was humble when recognized
for his contributions to the community, something he valued more than
any success he had in his career.”
