  Mr. WEBSTER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate Jeff Douglass, 
winner of the Governor's Innovators Under 40 Award. Mr. Douglass is the 
founder and CEO of Cybis Communications, a creative technology and 
communications company based in Orlando, Florida.
  Mr. Douglass, a graduate of the University of Central Florida, 
founded Cybis Communications in 1995. Recruiting new clients solely by 
word of mouth, Mr. Douglass has emphasized a personal approach to each 
project and today serves as not only the CEO but also as Cybis 
Communication's Executive Producer, focusing on creative and live event 
productions. By 2006, Cybis was producing events for such prestigious 
customers as the White House and the Office of the President.
  The Governor's Innovators Under 40 Award is one of Governor Rick 
Scott's 2012 Innovators in Business Awards, which are designed to 
recognize outstanding contributions toward growing and diversifying 
Florida's economy. The Innovators Under 40 Award is presented to 
Florida residents under the age of 40 who own or lead a Florida company 
with annual revenue of $1 million or more, and who have created at 
least 10 jobs since January 2011.
  Through Mr. Douglass's direction, Cybis has expanded and recently 
relocated to a design and production studio in downtown Orlando. Mr. 
Douglass is to be congratulated for the hard work and dedication he has 
demonstrated and for the contributions to Florida's economy that this 
award signifies. He is deserving of this recognition. May his work 
inspire others to follow in his footsteps.
