general news

Gwendolyn Anello was recently appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Accelerator Think Tank, an initiative critical in assisting Governor Crist and his team with the development of workforce policy in Florida as part of his Accelerate Florida Initiative. The Think Tank program was developed to bring some of the best and brightest minds in the state together on a voluntary basis to identify and develop solutions for short-term relief and long-term economic prosperity. The group comprised of industry leaders and agency heads throughout the state recently attended a full-day session at the Capitol to develop ideas for both short and long term outcomes. The group was charged with discussing and recommending innovative ways that state government can have a positive impact on our economy in Florida through workforce focused strategies.

GossamerWind.com, a web site for information about Gossamer Wind® series ceiling fans is now live. Compared to conventional ceiling fans, they consume approximately half the energy in operation, saving an estimated $20 per year in electricity costs while providing more efficient lighting and superior air flow.

The new web site aims to provide information about the fans, particularly for models that aren't readily available in retail stores. To date, more than a million Gossamer Wind ceiling fans have been purchased across the country (mainly Lowe's and Home Depot retail stores), saving consumers more than $10 million annually.

Anello Consulting built the site using the Drupal open source content managment system. The site features various search engine optimizations to ensure the site is easy to find using popular search engines.
