Sandra McGuire- sandramcguire@ahfplanners.com

After working in the benefits industry for many years, I transitioned to a career as an insurance and financial professional

believing I can make a difference in people’s lives. As a single woman who raised a child alone, I can relate to the financial

challenges we all face and desires for a secure financial future for our families.

Now as an independent agent licensed in Florida, Alabama and Georgia, I am happy to work for my clients and make

recommendations that are truly in their best interests. I joined AHF because I believe my client’s needs are my top priority

and at AHF I have the resources to find the right solution for them.

These days when I’m not working I stay active and you can find me training for a triathlon, water-skiing, on a stand-up paddle

board with my Australian Cattle Dog, on a boat, at the beach and enjoying time with my Mom, daughter, and two

granddaughters.

I am an Ambassador for the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce, a member of TriGulfCoast Triathletes, member of the

Pensacola Ski Club, and an associate member of Pensacola Association of Realtors.

Where children and teens discover who they are.

Camp Fire provides a nurturing, constructive and fun environment for young people to discover their sparks—unique skills, passions, and interests—and adopt a growth mindset. They chart their own course to healthy habits, community leadership, and connection to nature in collaboration with trained, caring adults. And, in turn, Camp Fire youth give back by sharing those skills in their communities.

At Camp Fire, it’s truly a way of life.

Laurie Murphy/Emerald Coast Keeper
Executive Director

Founded in 1999, Emerald Coastkeeper is one of 240 (and counting) member organizations of the Waterkeeper Alliance. We are a grassroots organization that monitors four main watersheds in the Florida Panhandle. Our mission is to investigate, educate and protect our right to swimmable. fishable and drinkable water. We believe that healthy waterways are directly connected to healthy communities and healthy people.

 In our four watersheds, you will find many springs, creeks, rivers, bayou’s, bays and of course, the Gulf of Mexico.

 Pollution can happen anywhere, not just from large industires. Some of the greatest concerns in our region stem from residential pollution.

 Some of the more common culprits are septic system failure, erosion and sedimentation, nutrient loading from fertilizers, red tide, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, (PCBs) lead, mercury, animal wastes, industrial paint source discharge, oil spills, commercial vessel pollution, residential development, and household garbage.

 Protecting our waterways and drinking water from contaminants is everyone’s responsibility. We can’t do it alone…we need your help!

 Feel free to contact us if you want to volunteer or to report a problem. We look forward to creating a healthy community with you!

Donna Kirby / Vice President Operational Development
Pensacola Blue Wahoos

 

In December 2010, Quint and Rishy Studer announced their purchase of the Carolina Mudcats, the Double-A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. The Double-A team will move from Zebulon, North Carolina to Pensacola beginning in 2012. The Pensacola franchise will remain in Minor League Baseball’s Southern League.

“I am extremely proud and excited for the actions that are being announced today,” said Quint Studer. “Bringing affiliated baseball to Pensacola will continue to add to the rich sports history that already exists in the area. Seeing the future stars of Major League baseball in a fun, family friendly atmosphere will bring a new level of enthusiasm for the citizens of Pensacola and Northwest Florida.”

The new home of the Reds Double-A affiliate will be located at Blue Wahoos Park, the premier waterfront mixed use development on the Gulf Coast. The team will play the 2011 season in North Carolina before relocating to the new state-of-the-art facility starting in April of 2012. The Class A-Advanced club moving to North Carolina in 2012 will retain the Carolina Mudcats name.

“The Southern League is one of the most respected leagues within baseball. With this move we are joining several upstanding franchises, including the Mobile BayBears who graciously allowed us to share their territory to make this all possible for the City of Pensacola. It is an honor to be associated with a league that boasts talented alumni like Chipper Jones, Joey Votto, Alex Rodriguez, Tim Hudson and Miguel Cabrera,” added Studer.

Mission

The vision of Northwest Florida Professional Baseball, LLC (aka the Pensacola Blue Wahoos) is to operate the most successful professional sports franchise in the United States. Local ownership and management are committed to achieving this by emphasizing the following five basic pillars:

Service
Financial
People
Growth
Quality

Values

We believe that our core values accurately communicate the things that drive us as an organization. As members of the Northwest Florida Professional Baseball, LLC organization, we are expected to live the values and embrace the spirit of our behavior standards.

Living the values is essential to create an environment that reinforces our dedication to our values/mission.

The importance of core values:

  • Core values are part of the ideology so deeply held that they will never be compromised
  • The core values of the company will withstand any change in leadership
  • Future employees are hired with similar values
  • These values guide all behaviors, guidelines, and standards
  • We continually ask ourselves if decisions or activities are in alignment with our core values

Our core values:

Teamwork:               Respectfully caring for each other and those we serve

Respect:                     Humility in our successes and grace in our challenges

Integrity:                    Honesty and integrity in all our interactions

Generosity:                Being thankful for and sharing our opportunities and blessings

Learning:                   Passionately pursuing making a difference in professional baseball by being a lifelong learner and teacher

About the Southern League

Giving Back

We believe in lifting up small, local not-for-profit groups that have a big impact in our community.

For years, idgroup has partnered with local not-for-profit organizations to fulfill a variety of their branding and organizational development needs. Through our past work, we know that our community is full of compassionate, giving hearts, and we know that building strong identities and increasing awareness for these organizations has had a meaningful impact on our community.

If you’ve ever visited us in our office, you’ve heard the idgroup saying, “Trust the Process.” Looking at our past not-for-profit work, we realized that we were not empowering these organizations with our strongest tool, the idgroup process. Since then, we’ve made a commitment to dedicate our time and talents to a small, local not-for-profit group annually. We commit to building firm foundations that create the most important part of a brand: a strong brand reputation that lasts.

To stay true to our beliefs and impact our community in a big way, we created Brand On Us™. Through the Brand On Us initiative, one deserving not-for-profit group will be chosen each year to receive a comprehensive and integrated brand makeover. During a seven-month Branding from the Core engagement, the selected organization will receive over $100,000 in idgroup services.

Who is Karen Sindel?

Karen is a highly accomplished business executive with experience in operations, P&L management and strategic planning with both startup and growth companies. Results oriented, decisive leader with a proven success in new market identification, client management and retention, strategic thinking and problem solving. She has a proven track record of increasing client involvement and profitability. Karen has a tendency to thrive in dynamic environments while remaining a self motivator and focused.

 

Why I am Running for District 1

Running for District 1 Commissioner is a natural progression of my over 20 year of public and community service for the citizens of Escambia County. I have served on the County’s Planning Board and the Santa Rosa Island Authority Board and in various senior management positions for groups ranging from the National Flight Academy and Naval Aviation Museum Foundation to the Florida Association of Local Housing Finance Authorities and the NW Florida March of Dimes.

The impact of the Navy Federal expansion, the development of OLF8 and the influx of nearly $60 million in RESTORE funds requires a leader with my long history of public service and proven success at problem solving, consensus building and a common sense approach to smart growth. My 10 years of experience on the County’s Planning Board give me the substantial experience you need to address the significant potential developments planned for District 1. It is critical that we plan for and accommodate the impact that the developments will have on current residents and business owners as well as the County.

My husband, Tod, and I have owned land in Nature Trail and are planning to build our home there. We are happy that we have commenced that process having selected a builder and hope to be in our new home by August.

 

Positive Leadership. Proven Results.

Karen has a history of fiscal responsibility as well as “turning around” organizations. Junior Achievement of Northwest Florida, March of Dimes, National Flight Academy, to name a few. Whether it’s working with volunteers or Boards of Directors, Karen’s proven ability to gather support and work with groups, large and small, makes her a necessity for communities, local and state governments.

Susan A Dawson / Reality Check Counseling

Life is neither fair nor easy. Numbing your feelings and emotions with alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, or any other addictive substance won’t make it any easier. It’s time you start living your life to your fullest potential. We can help. We offer individual, couples, family, and group counseling sessions.

You will be working with Licensed Counselors, Certified Addiction Professionals, State Registered Interns, as well as Master Level Interns in a safe, non-judgmental, confidential environment. We start the process with an in-depth personal history, various assessment screening inventories, and a treatment plan. Why is this necessary? While it is important to find answers to the cause(s) of your difficulties today, it is equally important to find the root cause of these difficulties to provide you with a clear understanding of your attitudes, believes, and actions.

How can you get back to your former functioning self – the self that gave your life purpose? By pinpointing the event(s) of your past that disrupted your life, healing it, and making you whole. And for those of you who are saying “I’ve never had purpose in my life” that’s okay. We understand and can help you find your “ah ha” moment.

Are you ready to get started? We are.
