Wow, time flies when you are having fun! I have been with CSA Palm Harbor for 9 years now. It seems like just yesterday that Erica invited me to join this amazing team.

My time here has been filled with many things. We have re-branded, started a Summer Camp program, and taken on the management of The White Chapel and Harbor Hall in downtown - to name a few. No matter what adventure we begin, we always begin with the community in mind.

And this year? Well, this year we began with one set of goals that quickly adjusted to accommodate the ever-changing situation. And, at the very least, 2020 has shown us the importance of family, friends, community, and perseverance. CSA has always been committed to the betterment of the community.

This year was no exception. We have worked hard to hold on to the things that we could manage and maintain. We’ve also been working to come up with events and happenings that utilize our outdoor spaces so our community feels safe and can safely socially distance.

Whatever your take on this year and its unpredictable nature, please know that CSA is your constant in this community. The statement “we are all in this together” means more now than ever before. We set out 8 years ago to become the place where Palm Harbor meets, plays, and connects. We are still committed to that vision and look to 2021 to bring the hope and happiness we all need!

When she’s not working, she loves to paint and spend time with her friends & family. Her vacation to Italy with her family was a highlight in her life.

Steven grew up right here in Palm Harbor, played baseball on the local fields and has worked at CSA for 17 years. He’s an avid sports fan who loves playing softball with his crew and cheering for the Rays and Lightning! Recently, he started volunteering for Sleep in Heavenly Peace and he says there’s nothing like building and delivering beds to those in need!

A part of the CSA family for 17 years, Erica has worked every job there is and has been Director for 10 years. She says one of the things she enjoys most about her job is changing lives one day at a time. When not working, she loves spending time at Disney with her other family.

A lifelong Pinellas County girl, Jodie’s favorite vacation is the mountains. Part of CSA for 5 years, she loves planning events for the community and helping people book and arrange their next great memory at a CSA venue!
