ReEmployAbility, headquartered in Brandon, Florida, has been named to the 2026 Seminole 100, recognizing the fastest-growing businesses led by Florida State University alumni. The company was honored Saturday, February 21, at the Donald L. Tucker Civic Center in Tallahassee at the ninth annual Seminole 100 celebration. During the event, ReEmployAbility was officially ranked #76 among the 2026 honorees, marking a significant achievement in the company’s continued growth.
Each year, Florida State University recognizes 100 alumni-owned or alumni-led businesses for their verified growth and entrepreneurial excellence. During the celebration, honorees learn their numerical rankings, receive awards, and connect with fellow leaders representing a diverse range of industries.
ReEmployAbility earned its place on the 2026 list due to its continued expansion and its leadership in the return-to-work industry. Since its founding in 2003, the company has pioneered innovative solutions that help injured workers return to meaningful work while lowering claim costs for employers and insurance carriers. Through its Transition2Work program, ReEmployAbility partners with more than 52,000 nonprofit organizations nationwide, providing transitional modified duty assignments that empower injured employees, maintain productivity, and support local communities.
ReEmployAbility is led by CEO and Founder Debra Livingston, who earned her Bachelor of Science in Fashion Merchandising from Florida State University in 1987. With a vision to “connect people to a greater purpose so they can have a better life” Debra established the company to create opportunities that transform lives, strengthen communities, and streamline the return-to-work process for employers and carriers.
“Being named to the 2026 Seminole 100 is an incredible honor for all of us at ReEmployAbility. This recognition reflects far more than business growth; it represents the steady, purpose-driven work our team has poured into expanding opportunities for injured workers and supporting employers nationwide. Over the past two decades, the Transition2Work® program has become a meaningful bridge for thousands of people navigating recovery and return-to-work. Seeing its impact continue to grow—helping individuals reconnect with purpose, supporting nonprofits in their communities, and strengthening outcomes for our clients—reminds me why this work matters so deeply.”
Livingston added that the honor carries personal meaning as an alumna of Florida State University.
“As an FSU alumna, this honor carries special significance. My time at Florida State shaped my earliest views on leadership, service, and resilience. To once again stand among fellow Seminole-led companies making a positive impact is both humbling and inspiring. I’m proud of how far we’ve come, and even more energized for what lies ahead. ReEmployAbility’s mission has always been about people. Empowering them, supporting them, and helping them return stronger. As we look to the future, we remain committed to growing responsibly, innovating boldly, and leading with purpose at the center of every decision.”
Julie Decker, Associate Vice President of Advancement, Alumni Engagement and President of the FSU Alumni Association, also shared her recognition of this year’s honorees.
“Our 2026 Seminole 100 honorees demonstrate the remarkable achievements of our alumni who are leading thriving businesses and embodying the spirit of Florida State University,” said Decker. “These alumni inspire us, and it’s an honor to recognize them.”
This year’s honorees represent industries of energy, technology, law, marketing and retail. Of the 100 businesses recognized, 84 are based in Florida, 13 states are represented, showcasing the reach and impact of FSU alumni nationwide.
To qualify for the Seminole 100, companies must be at least three years old, generate revenue by January 1, 2022, and be owned or led by an FSU graduate for the three consecutive years prior to applying.
