StAR Council elects 2011 officers

Historic City News learned that in a recent meeting, the newly formed St. Augustine Regional Council elected its officers for 2011.

Barbara Jenness – President, Dave Mancino – President Elect, Tony Bosco – Vice President, President, Susie Sullivan – Secretary, Jessica Evans – Treasurer, Marge Cirillo – Marketing Committee Chair, Lydia Keohane – Director at Large, Chris Rich – Community Events Chair, Berta Odom – Ways and Means Chair and not pictured, Garrett E. Spitzer, III – Government Affairs Chair.

The StAR Council was formed in an effort to promote St. Augustine to individuals outside the St. Augustine area.

We found that the Chamber promotes St. Augustine businesses. We found that the Visitors & Convention Bureau promotes St. Augustine to visitors. We found that no group is actively pursuing individuals who may be contemplating a move to Florida, but either have not heard of or considered the St. Augustine area.

The purpose of the StAR Council is to support the preservation and furtherance of the residential and commercial real estate industry in the St. Augustine and St. Johns County area.

StAR Mission: We are a group of professionals dedicated to promoting our community to individuals outside the region.
