 Gainesville, FL—February 24, 2023
After 6 years at the Cade Museum, Stephanie Bailes is resigning from her position as President & CEO. This decision is fueled by Stephanie’s desire to pursue other opportunities that will allow her to spend more quality time with her family. Stephanie believes in the mission, the vision, and the people who make the Cade what it is. During her time at the Cade, Stephanie has put a tremendous amount of energy into bringing the Cade family’s vision to life. “We’re very grateful for Stephanie’s leadership during a pivotal time for the museum. She not only turned the vision into reality, but over the last six years has built up an incredible team. Stephanie is irreplaceable and we will miss her greatly, but I know that the team she created will continue to reflect her legacy for years to come. "
Stephanie’s Legacy at The Cade Under her thoughtful and dedicated leadership, which began when construction was still underway on the museum building, the Cade has experienced incredible growth. The Cade opened its doors to the public in May 2018, and since then it has welcomed over 150,000 visitors. The Cade Prize for Innovation, once a modest cash award previously open to Florida-based early-stage inventors only, is now a national competition with a cash purse of over $100,000. Not only has Stephanie led the Cade to its many accomplishments, but she has also served as pillar of strength throughout many challenges— most notably the COVID-19 pandemic, when the museum pivoted to provide safe, accessible programming and educational experiences to our community. Through her hard work and commitment to the Cade, Mrs. Bailes was named a top 50 International Museum Influencer in 2021 by Blooloop Magazine and a Florida Trend Florida 500 Influential in 2022. She was previously named a “Person to Know in the Area of Technology” by Florida Trend. Looking Ahead Since her resignation was submitted, Stephanie has worked closely with Phoebe Cade Miles, chairman of the board of directors, and Jay Fant, the Cade’s Governance Committee chair, to develop a thorough transition plan. This plan has been reviewed and approved by the board of directors. The plan provides stability and is focused on continued contributions to Cade’s mission. This includes a newly appointed chief operating officer who will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the organization. Additionally, Stephanie will transition to the role of Senior Advisor to the Cade beginning March 1. The Cade Board of Directors will form a CEO search committee to identify the next visionary to fulfill the role. In the meantime, Phoebe Cade Miles will assume the role of interim CEO until a new one is selected. The next six to nine months will be a period of transition, but as in all transition periods, there will be a tremendous opportunity for growth. Cade’s mission remains the same: transforming communities by inspiring and equipping future inventors, entrepreneurs and visionaries. "Building up the Cade has been the opportunity of a lifetime and I am grateful to Richard and Phoebe Miles, and the Cade’s Board of Directors, for their constant support and confidence. Working alongside the Cade’s incredible team of employees and the community supporting its mission has also been an immense honor and privilege. I will continue to support the Cade, albeit from the sidelines, and I look forward to a new season of personal and professional engagement in our growing city."
While it is bittersweet, we are so grateful for Stephanie’s impact on this organization and its team members. We are excited for these new seasons for the Cade, and for Stephanie and her family.

Cade Museum Opens Illuminating New Exhibit Inviting Visitors to Relive the Age of Electricity2/2/2023 Gainesville, FL—February 2, 2023 Last year, the Cade Museum invited visitors to “Wander the Milky Way”. Beginning in early February, guests can travel back in time to investigate how electricity shapes our lives with a brand-new museum theme called, “Latimer, Edison, Tesla: The Age of Electricity”. From the 1870s through the 1890s, Thomas Edison's laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey, patented some of the most important inventions of the modern age, including the light bulb, sound recording, and motion pictures. The late 19th century saw tremendous change and the rise of a new kind of American icon: the Inventor. The “Age of Electricity” gives visitors the opportunity to meet the brave and creative inventors who wired our world and encourages them to tinker, design, and traverse their way across the turn of the 20th century. The museum rotunda will feature the new hands-on exhibit, “Lewis Latimer: Lighting the Way”, where guests will walk through the life of Lewis Latimer, an inventor who changed the way the world viewed electric light. Latimer’s self-made story demonstrates how he helped bring incandescent lighting to the masses, first by wedging his way into patent drafting to eventually inventing ground-breaking changes to light bulb filaments, landing him a spot in Thomas Edison’s electric company. Excerpts from Lewis Latimer’s diary give guests a glimpse into the mind of a man who is immortalized in history for his inventions, all while overcoming the challenges faced with being an African American inventor in the height of Jim Crow America.

GAINESVILLE, FLA.— November 8, 2022 Florida Trend, a leading media publication that has reported on the people and issues that have defined Florida and shaped its future for over 60 years, has named Stephanie Bailes, President and CEO of the Cade Museum for Creativity & Invention, a Florida 500 Influential in the category of Philanthropy and Nonprofit. Bailes is listed in the 2022 Florida 500 alongside industry leaders from around the state. “To be recognized among the incredibly successful and talented list of individuals is humbling.”, says Bailes. “I am extremely honored to be included. I also recognize that this recognition comes in large part because of the vision and mission of the organization I am so fortunate to represent; an organization that is supported by the work of a tremendously talented and dedicated team of staff, board members, and founders.” Now, in its fifth year, the Florida 500 is the product of a year-long research initiative by the editors of Florida Trend resulting in a personal, engaging look at the state’s most influential business leaders across more than 60 business categories including Energy, Education, Finance, and Life Sciences. The editorial selection of the 500 executives was based on extensive contacts in regional business circles, hundreds of interviews, and months of research, culminating in a highly selective biographical guide to the people who really run Florida. Bailes was previously recognized by Florida Trend Magazine as a Person to Know in Technology and was also identified by Blooloop Magazine as a top 50 International Museum Influencer. Under Bailes’ strong leadership of the Cade, which began in 2017 when construction was underway on the museum building, the organization has experienced tremendous growth in several areas. The Cade Prize for Innovation, once a modest cash award previously open only to Florida-based early-stage inventors, is now a national competition with a cash purse of over $100,000. The museum expanded its outreach operations during COVID, and over 121,000 guests have visited the Cade since its opening in 2018. However, it’s what happens outside of the museum that Bailes is most proud of. “The Cade Museum is a wonderful place for learning and inspiration.”, continues Bailes. “We encourage children to be the visionaries and problem solvers of tomorrow. The Cade is not bound by its walls. We dedicate resources to reach into communities where there is little access to the innovative ideas shaping our world and we provide those communities a connection to this innovation economy. It is this combined power of personal agency, innovation education, and outreach that motivates the team at the Cade. This is also the reason the museum, and our team, are getting recognized for our work supporting the vision of our founder, Phoebe Cade Miles.” Find the list of all Florida 500 Influentials and read Bailes’ story here: https://floridatrend500.com/philanthropy-nonprofits/stephanie-bailes/ ### About the Cade Museum The mission of the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida, is to transform communities by inspiring and equipping future inventors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries.

(October 20, 2022) –The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention is pleased to announce a generous donation from Adria Petty: American director, editor, art director, and daughter of Gainesville hometown hero Tom Petty.
The gift of $25,000 made in memory of musician Tom Petty will help fund Operation Full STEAM, an outreach project of the Cade Museum that aims to close achievement gaps for underserved elementary school students by providing experiences that foster creativity and development of an inventive mindset. “The Cade is run by special people who love and dedicate themselves to Gainesville and its youth”, says Petty. “It is essential for organizations like the Cade to get support and I am proud to be a small contributor to Phoebe Miles’ vision. As Gainesville grows it is community organizations like the Cade that will provide culture and education to the underserved. My dad loved his childhood here and he had two working parents. The community raised him. I hope to be an advocate to preserve and protect his “Dreamville”. OFS is one of many outreach partnerships organized and led by the Cade Museum. This four-year project will serve 2nd through 5th grade students in Title I schools in Alachua County, Florida. In addition to increasing STEAM exposure, the project engages participants' parents and families with each family receiving a free yearly membership to the Cade. Ultimately, the project will cultivate greater interest in STEAM disciplines among students from culturally and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds, inspire the pursuit of further education, and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable innovation economy. “We are delighted and grateful to receive this impactful gift from Adria, notes Stephanie Bailes, President and CEO of the Cade Museum. “This generous donation will enable us to expand Operation Full Steam into two more underserved schools in our area. We look forward to future partnerships with Adria and are honored to be included in Tom Petty’s legacy of giving.” About the Cade Museum The mission of the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida, is to transform communities by inspiring and equipping future inventors, entrepreneurs, and visionaries.

(October 10, 2022) –The Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention is pleased to announce NEPTUNYA Ocean Power of Boca Raton, Fla. won the 2022 Cade Prize for developing OCTOPODZ, a technology that unlocks renewable energy.
Octopodz’s new offshore wind turbine design drastically lowers energy costs through reduced weight and a floating design that eliminates the need for a separate foundation substructure. The invention could dramatically increase renewable energy adoption by power companies and other energy consumers. The same week NEPTUNYA Ocean Power won the Cade Prize, its founder, Rodrigo Griesi, and his family became U.S. citizens. “This is my lifetime dream, to live and work in a country that attracts, supports and inspires innovation,” said Rodrigo Griesi, a Brazilian native who moved to Florida seven years ago to pursue his dream. “Winning the Cade Prize brings validation and recognition that we are on the right path, and it’s especially meaningful for me as an immigrant because it doesn’t matter where you come from, it’s purely about celebrating the innovation you are bringing to this amazing country.” Other Cade Prize winners are:
“We’re inspired by both the high-caliber, and record number of submissions this year,” said Richard Miles, Cade Prize Committee Chair, and son-in-law of Dr. Robert Cade, the lead inventor of Gatorade, after whom the Cade Prize is named. “We’re looking for the next big invention and are excited to celebrate innovation through the Cade Prize.” Winners were announced October 6 at an awards ceremony in Gainesville. They will share $67,000 in cash prizes. Two teams tied for fifth place, and each winner will receive $2,000 of in-kind legal services. The Cade Prize draws innovators from research universities and the private sector with groundbreaking, early-stage ideas before they reach the marketplace. Often, these life-changing ideas take years to materialize and become successful. The Cade Prize began as a Florida competition and now includes Georgia and Alabama. In 2023 it will become a national competition open to competitors in all 50 U.S. states and territories, with a prize purse of more than $100,000. The Cade Prize is sponsored by Scott R. MacKenzie, the Community Foundation of North Central Florida, Florida Trend, Cox Communications, Modern Luxury, Florida High Tech Corridor, Saliwanchik, Lloyd, & Eisenschenk, Florida Inventor Hall of Fame, GrayRobinson law firm, Meldon Law, Greater Gainesville Chamber and Aloft Hotel.
