John Tonnison, the Executive Vice President and CIO of Tech Data, is a business leader in Florida who has been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ-inclusive nondiscrimination protections across the Sunshine State.

“Protecting gay and transgender Floridians from discrimination isn’t just morally the right thing to do, it’s prerequisite if our state wants to be relevant and economically competitive in the global market,” John said. “Having one uniform nondiscrimination policy across the state will help businesses keep and attract top talent while avoiding the confusion caused by Florida’s current patchwork of county and municipal ordinances.”
