Tiffany Dennis Lancaster
Wentworth Recreation Director
Tiffany’s mother was a strong woman with the focus on “women can do anything men can do”. She also have a brother who is 15 months older whom he’s always envied. Tiffany was gymnast and swimmer; gymnastics was her passion and she competed all over the nation. She was a competitive surfer with the eastern surfing association. Her other enthusiasm was learning as much as she could about martial arts.

Her career as a director started after her senior year in college when she was awarded the captain of the ocean rescue lifeguards on Tybee Island beach. After graduating college, Tiffany was blessed with the opportunity to start the first ever YMCA on Tybee Island. As a female in the sports and fitness area at times it was challenging but always a new adventure.
After many years, she was offered a position to grow her profession and took an offer as a District Manager with Learning Care Group in Charlotte North Carolina managing eight pre-schools.
Six short years later she was presented a job with the City Port Wentworth as the Leisure Services Director. Parks and recreation were a perfect fit. Community development and the opportunity to build programs was her desire. Now she’s the president of the Coast Athletic Association, a certified parks and recreation professional and an American Red Cross trainer.
Her love for the youth of Port Wentworth and the love that she pours into them, is what makes every parent want to bring their children to activities and sporting events in the city. She’s changing lives, One Child at a time.
