Mike Hightower Retiring From Florida Blue

Familiar Tallahassee figure Michael Hightower, Florida Blues vice president of government and legislative relations, is retiring on Friday. Hightower, who has chaired both the Associated Industries of Florida and the Florida Chamber of Commerce, will leave Florida Blue on Friday.

For more than 30 years, Mike Hightower has been the government relations face of our company, working on behalf of the organization and our stakeholders with virtually every facet of local and state government, said Jason Altmire, the senior vice president of public policy and community engagement for Florida Blue, on Tuesday. We deeply appreciate his many years of service and wish him the best in his retirement.
