The Greater Plant City Chamber of Commerce welcomed its 2014 board and said good-bye to its outgoing directors at the 32nd annual Chairman’s Banquet Jan. 30, at the HCC Plant City John R. Trinkle Center.
Nate Kilton, of Sedita Kilton & Company and Sedita Kilton Life & Wealth Management LLC, was named the 2014 chairman. Kilton also is a co-owner of the Plant City Times & Observer.
Gary Pike served as the emcee for the evening, and the Rev. Scott Lawry, new pastor at Evangelical Presbyterian Church, gave the invocation. Following Kilton’s speech, chamber members enjoyed the traditional — and always hilarious — video presentation. Video director Al Berry received an official director’s chair for his help.
Joining Kilton on the 2014 board are Michael Cameron, of Cameron Financial Management (chairman-elect); Jim Scott, of Jarrett-Scott Ford (immediate past chairman); Brian West, of Publix Super Markets Inc. (treasurer); Janet Kelly, of Rita Staffing (membership division); Edwena Haney, of Hopewell Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens (community programs division); Phil Waldron, of Waldron Consulting Services (Economic Development Council); and Keith Smith, of Trinkle, Redman, Swanson, Coton, Davis & Smith P.A. (community and governmental affairs division).
