This week's staff spotlight serves as both a note of appreciation and an announcement of change in employee configuration. Effective April 1, 2020, our longtime Chief Financial Officer Dottie Wetmore will begin performing her financial management responsibilities remotely from Jacksonville, Fla.
As some of you may be aware, it has been Dottie's desire to relocate to the warmer climates of southern latitudes for some time. With her recent engagement to former Haven Harbour South employee PJ Stewart, she is very excited to be making the move.
Dottie is a highly valued member of our management team and family here at Haven Harbour Marina Resorts. Hired in 1997 as an office manager and assistant controller after earning multiple degrees in accounting and business management, she advanced to controller in 2000 and has since demonstrated the upmost loyalty, motivation, professionalism and leadership over the course of her 23-year tenure; all exceptional qualities we seek in staff members. With the opening of the Inn at Haven Harbour in 2007, Dottie took up managing this aspect of the business before promoting to chief financial officer in 2013. Since then, she has balanced both positions skillfully.
Rest assured that Dottie is not leaving, but merely relocating her office. By maintaining her position remotely, we can continue to benefit from her knowledge and experience as we progress into the future and enter new frontiers.
"Dottie has been hearing the call of palm trees for several years, and now with mixed emotions, we see her off on this new and exciting time in her life," said General Manager Woody Loller. "Haven Harbour has undoubtably grown to become a better place thanks to Dottie’s strong devotion and efforts here. I am thrilled that she will be able to continue working with us and we wish her nothing but the best."
While this will certainly be an adjustment for most, Dottie will remain available via telephone and email to all staff, slipholders, guests and customers, in addition to being on-site select days each month. She will without hesitation make it a priority to see and visit with members of the Haven Harbour customer family she has come to love and enjoy over the years.
Please join us in thanking Dottie for her efforts and wishing her the absolute best on these new endeavors.
