January 13, 2025: Congratulations to Ed Timberlake! The below is a Dec. 16, 2024 announcement by the Orlando Economic Partnership
We’re thrilled to announce Ed Timberlake as the 2025 James B. Greene Award honoree! 
Timberlake’s impact on our community is truly inspiring. As Chair of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, a founding donor, and a dedicated leader in organizations like the Central Florida Commission on Homelessness and Heart of Florida United Way, he has shaped the Orlando region for the better.
The James B. Greene Award celebrates leaders driving economic growth and prosperity, and Timberlake’s lifelong commitment to service and leadership embodies this honor.

FYI: To the left of the home page - under Member Functions - open the Notify Me link (you have to be logged on for the page to open). Once opened - there's an instruction on what action you can take to be notified when updates occur on the site. i.e, you might want to receive an immediate notification when an employee is added to the In Memory section. The info displayed is self-explanatory
