CITY, VETERANS FLORIDA PARTNER ON SKILLBRIDGE PROGRAM
The City of Pensacola has signed an agreement with Veterans Florida expanding employment opportunities for veterans through the SkillBridge program.
The Memorandum of Understanding with Veterans Florida opens the door to more opportunities for servicemembers to gain civilian workforce experience as they transition from the military. The prior version of the SkillBridge partnership limited placements to the Pensacola Police Department. This version of the agreement opens the door for eligible military members to train, intern, and serve at Pensacola International Airport, and ultimately other departments in the City of Pensacola ahead of their transition out of the military.
“This SkillBridge Partnership between the City and Veterans Florida will provide servicemembers an opportunity to ease their transition out of the military and continue their public service career in Florida's Emerald Coast,” said Joe Marino, Executive Director, Veterans Florida. “We are honored to join
Mayor D.C. Reeves to enhance the lives of those who have served and wish to continue to serve.”
SkillBridge is a U.S. Department of War program that places military personnel into workplaces within the last 180 days of their service — with the goal of translating the skills they built in the military into the civilian world more smoothly. Veterans Florida, as thirdparty provider, will administer the program on behalf of the City.
“The military is woven deeply into the fabric of our City,” Reeves said. “Our partnership with Veterans Florida allows us to tap into an incredible talent pool and to do our part to honor that our historical connection to the service and give these talented men and women a place to continue their service.”
This expanded SkillBridge agreement is in effect for FY2025-26, with coordinated efforts by Veterans Florida and the City of Pensacola to maximize successful placements and long-term employment outcomes for participating servicemembers.
UWF POLICE DEPARTMENT EARNS REACCREDITATION
The University of West Florida Police Department has achieved reaccreditation from the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation through 2029. Accreditation increases the department’s ability to prevent and control crime through effective and efficient delivery of law enforcement services.
“As an agency, we understand the importance of accreditation,” said UWF Police Chief Roman Jackson. “We view it not as a finish line, but as a commitment to continuous improvement. We look forward to continuing our efforts, always working towards perfection while remaining excellent in all that we do.”
UWF Police were required to comply with numerous standards in order to receive reaccreditation. Many of the standards are critical to life, health, safety issues and best practices. A team of assessors from the CFA visited UWFPD last November to reexam -
ine all aspects of the department’s policies and procedures, management, operations and support services. Out of 235 standards reviewed, 173 were found in compliance, 62 were not applicable and zero were out of compliance. This report reflects that UWF was favorably reviewed, achieving the highest quality standards.
The assessment team noted that the UWFPD were professional, kind, courteous and displayed a positive attitude towards the accreditation process. With interviews and observations confirming policies are followed by all employees, the assessment team concluded that the UWFPD meets the standards for accreditation.
The UWF Police Department is an integral part of the University community. The mission of the department is to support the values of the University in enhancing the quality of life and academic goals in a safe and secure educational environment.

“The TAGGED exhibition brings an added level of excitement to The Art Gallery each year,” says Gallery Director Stasha Willis. “Not only is this exhibition open to all students, but it is also the moment when our senior gallery intern puts months of mentorship into
practice as they step into the role of exhibition designer. The reception also serves as an award ceremony, where TAG and the Department of Art and Design look forward to bringing the community together to celebrate our students through the conferral of the TAGGED juried awards, department achievement awards, a people's choice award, and community-sponsored scholarships and exhibition opportunities.”
TAG at UWF seeks to challenge, stimulate and engage students and the greater public through direct interaction with modern and contemporary artworks.

SANTA ROSA COUNTY 4-H SENIOR TEAM RISES TO THIRD IN STATE AT FLORIDA 4-H POULTRY JUDGING CONTEST
Santa Rosa County 4-H is celebrating a major accomplishment following the 2026 Florida 4-H Poultry Judging Contest, held at the Florida State Fair, where the Senior Team earned a third-place finish in the state.
After placing seventh in last year’s competition, the team embraced the 4-H motto, “To Make the Best Better,” and returned this year with determination, focus, and a commitment to improvement. Their hard work paid off with a climb to third place in the Senior Division statewide.
The Santa Rosa County Senior Team was comprised of Andrew Mashack, Julia Mashack, Ayla Foreman, and Marissa Acotto. Through months of preparation, study, and practice, these youth sharpened their skills in evaluating live birds, grading eggs and carcasses, identifying poultry parts, and applying industry standards. Their improvement from last year’s finish to this year’s top three placement reflects both perseverance and strong teamwork.
In addition to the Senior Team’s success, Santa Rosa County 4-H member Alison Collier proudly represented the county in the Junior/Intermediate Division. Competing at the state level requires dedication, confidence, and preparation, and her participation contributed to a strong overall showing for the county program.
The Florida 4-H Poultry Judging Program challenges youth to think critically, make accurate evaluations, and develop industry knowledge directly connected to Florida agriculture. Participants gain valuable life skills including decision making, communication, responsibility, and teamwork.
Santa Rosa County 4-H continues to demonstrate that when young people commit to growth and learning, they truly live out the 4-H pledge and strive to make the best better.
For more information about 4-H youth programs in Santa Rosa County, please contact Santa Rosa County 4-H at 850-623-3868.

Lang Distinguished Mentoring Award presented by the Leadership Foundation for Teacher Education. The national award recognizes Nguyen’s extraordinary commitment to mentorship within the Association of Teacher Educators.
Greater Pensacola region,” stated Greater Pensacola Chamber Board Chair Ildi Hosman. “Their commitment to innovation, business growth, and community impact reflects the momentum of our business community and the bright future ahead. This year’s slate of honorees is a testament to the purpose-driven work being done in our community.” The Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce would like to thank our 66th Annual PACE Award sponsors for their generous support.

VIP Reception Sponsor: CatCountry 98.7 Radio / NewsRadio 92.3 Wine Sponsor: One Digital
“Throughout my journey in education, I have been fortunate to be guided by many individuals. Some have left this life, but they still influence the work I do,” said Nguyen. “Mentoring is a mutually beneficial relationship: each party gains as we share. I accept this award not just for me, but on behalf of all mentors and mentees. I have had great mentors here at UWF and outside of UWF. I have learned from the best and will continue fostering mentorship. I believe that if every mentee gives back by developing into a mentor for a future student, mentorship becomes the gift that keeps on giving.”
The Duaine C. Lang Distinguished Mentoring Award is among the most esteemed recognitions within the Association of Teacher Educators, honoring individuals who exemplify the true spirit of mentorship. The award is bestowed upon ATE members whose guidance, encouragement and sustained support have significantly influenced protégés, fostering leadership, professional growth and long-term involvement in the Association.
“Dr. Nguyen’s selection for the Duaine C. Lang Distinguished Mentoring Award is a
testament to her profound impact on teacher education and her unwavering dedication to mentoring emerging scholars and educators,” said Dr. Denise Soares, dean of the UWF School of Education. “She embodies what it means to be a mentor: thoughtful, generous and deeply invested in others' growth. Her leadership and generosity of spirit reflect the highest values of our profession, and we are proud to celebrate her national recognition.”
Nguyen’s selection for this award underscores her longstanding influence within the field of teacher education and her unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of educational leaders. Her work at UWF continues to inspire colleagues and students alike.
“It is for her memorable and powerful words of inspiration, her lifetime achievements as a professor and her authentic goodness as a mentor that I am honored to be her mentee,” said Mercedes A. Musto, UWF doctoral candidate. “Her commitment to the field, care and concern for her students, and outstanding character among teacher educators make Dr. Giang-Nguyen Thi Nguyen an honorable recipient for the Duaine C. Lang Mentoring Award in 2026.”
In addition to the honor of the award itself, Nguyen received a commemorative plaque. In keeping with the award’s tradition of giving back to the education community, a financial donation will also be made in her name to her state or regional ATE unit ensuring continued investment in the development of future teacher education leaders.
