The Florida Strawberry Festival board of directors voted last night to elect its newest member.
Pam Warnock, who has served as an associate director for 14 years, was elected from a field of 15 fellow associate directors.
“I feel honored I was chosen out of a group of people who are all very well qualified,” Warnock said.
In addition to serving as senior vice president of Hillsboro Bank, Warnock currently serves on the festival’s swine committee and is chairman of the information services committee. She served as a festival volunteer for many years before becoming an associate director in May of 2001.
“She has been a great ambassador for the Florida Strawberry Festival,” Festival President Dan Walden said. “I’m very excited to see her elected to director and look forward to working with her.”
A position on the board of directors became vacant last month with the death of longtime director Hilman Bowden.
“I feel like it’s a privilege to be following in Mr. Bowden’s footsteps who served well for so many years,” Warnock said.
With Warnock’s election comes a vacancy in the 16-seat group of associate directors. The board of directors plans to elect a new associate director sometime this fall.
