Allow me to introduce myself as the Executive Director for the Avon Park Chamber of Commerce. Having worked in diverse organizations from real estate to event planning to post secondary administration, I bring a strong drive to lead a project and engage others in a collaborative vision. As a previous business owner, a certified leadership development coach, I am equipped and ready for the opportunities ahead. I need your help and ask for your partnership to bring revitalization to Avon Park and subsequently Highlands County.
