Tammie Nemecek, CEO, Economic Development Council of Collier County on NewsMakers

NAPLES — Tammie Nemecek has a new job in economic development, where she’ll focus on “gardening.”

The longtime CEO and president of Collier County’s Economic Development Council has been hired by the University of Central Florida in Orlando to help grow jobs through a statewide economic gardening program.

“It completely fit exactly what I wanted to do going forward,” said Nemecek, 42.

The gardening program is designed to help small businesses expand their market share and increase their revenues so they can grow.

Nemecek will work for the Florida Economic Gardening Institute, created by the Florida Legislature in 2009 to help boost Florida’s economy.
