Jan Slater has taken a more flexible job
By Ashley Dunn
ZEPHYRHILLS — Jan Slater, executive director of the Zephyrhills Chamber of Commerce, turned in her resignation on Oct. 26. Her last day with the Chamber will be Nov. 7.
Slater, who was hired in August 2006, said she has had some changes in her personal life since 2008 when she and her husband adopted four children.
“This is a wonderful job,” she said. “I love this job, but I need to be home with my family more.”
Slater has accepted a part-time position, but she didn’t want to say what it is. She said she plans to remain involved in the community, continuing her work with East Pasco Meals on Wheels, the Rotary Club of Zephyrhills and the Samaritan Project.
Mike Mira, president of the Chamber, called Slater the “backbone” of the organization and said she has always been willing to put in as many hours as necessary to get the job done.
“Jan Slater, over the past three years, has done an outstanding job,” he said.
The Chamber is now looking for a new director, especially because the seasonal residents are coming back.
Those interested in applying can e-mail their resumes to Mira at , mail them to P.O. Box 759, Zephyrhills, Fla. 33539, or fax them to (813) 788-4881. Be sure to direct your resume to Mira’s attention. Mira said the Chamber will accept resumes until Nov. 13, and the executive committee will choose Slater’s replacement shortly thereafter. The person the committee selects will have a minimum of two years of college experience, a knowledge of QuickBooks and Microsoft Publisher, and experience in event planning and community service.
