GAIN Luncheon: Phoebe Cade Miles, Cade Museum Foundation

Featured Speaker:
Phoebe Cade Miles
Cade Museum Foundation

Phoebe Miles, a native of Gainesville and the daughter of the late inventor of Gatorade, is the president and founder of the Cade Museum Foundation, which will be located near the historic downtown of Gainesville, Florida, and is scheduled to open in 2012. Focused on “inventing possibilities,” it will showcase the creative process of invention and partner with a wide array of local institutions to sponsor interactive educational programs at all levels.

Phoebe Cade Miles will discuss how the planned Cade Museum of Innovation and Invention will highlight and encourage Gainesville's national reputation as a center of invention and creativity and how this will be a key to our future economic growth and stability. She'll discuss Gainesville's history and reputation as an exporter of ideas and inventions, and how the invention of Gatorade (including her father's contentious relationship with the University in the 70's) helped to transform our community. Mrs Miles also will explain how the Cade Museum will help to fill the "creative inventiveness" gap in our educational system. Finally, she will speak about how the transformation of Depot Park will become a leading example of a successful environmental cleanup.

Mrs. Miles, currently residing in Washington, DC with her family, is also the vice-president and founder of the Gloria Dei Foundation, a family-operated charity organized in 2004 to help those in need by providing grants to successful and innovative non-profit organizations.
