At a meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8, the Florida Strawberry Festival board of directors voted to elect Jim Scott as the Festival’s new associate director.
Scott is the managing partner of Jarett-Scott Ford in Plant City. The associate director position has been vacant since June. Scott has actively volunteered with the Festival’s information services, and serves as the co-chair of the Festival’s ambassador team.
As an assistant director, Scott will join the group of 30 individuals who oversee the 11-day Florida Strawberry Festival. There are 16 associate directors and 14 directors.
“Jim Scott is an outstanding individual who donates a lot of his time to the festival and other community causes,” Florida Strawberry Festival General Manager Paul Davis said in a statement. “He has served our community in various roles, and we’re thrilled to have him on as a partner.”
