IDES of MARCH 2008-Achievement Ladder Recognition Award

For the second time this year, the Achievement Ladder Recognition Award is proud to honor an individual for Community Service above and beyond the call of duty. My privilege is to acknowledge Phyllis S. Smith for the 21 plus years of selfless service to the Greater Dade City Chamber of Commerce.

In describing Phyllis S. Smith, she always had the Desire, the Dedication, the Determination, the Discipline, the Diplomacy, the Direction, the Discretion, the Dependability, the Discreetness, the Decisiveness, and the Doctrine to make a distinct difference in the Greater Dade City Chamber of Commerce as Executive Director. Phyllis believed in networking, partnering, and collaborating to accomplish the many Chamber Projects that she initiated or coordinated in cooperation with the many Board of Directors members over the years. She is one of the founding trio of the Kumquat Festival Annual Event that is scheduled each year on the last Saturday in January. Now eleven Annual Kumquat Festivals later, Phyllis has decided to move on to other adventures in her professional life. In addition, Phyllis was instrumental in bringing about a monthly auto show to the downtown Dade City area in cooperation with the Dade City Downtown Association.

Congratulations to Phyllis S. Smith in being recognized as the Ides of March 2008 Achievement Ladder Award winner.
