Jana Weaver, Vice Chair

Returning to the board of directors in 2015, this is Jana’s second time on the board, having previously served for 5 years.

She and her husband, Mike, will celebrate 15 years of marriage this year and have been together for the last 19 years. They have four children, who keep her quite busy with baseball, football, lacrosse, softball, dance, and lots of other activities! They love to travel when time allows and spend one-on-one time together to keep their marriage healthy and happy. In her spare time, Jana loves to work out, read, listen to music, and dance whenever possible. She admits to always wanting to be a dancer growing up, and may one day pursue dance lessons!

In her words… “I love the Chamber because it keeps me active in the community and knowing what is going on right where I live. I love how our community comes together in times of need and all of the little things that people do that go unnoticed, but are so appreciated. I grew up in Akron and didn’t have this kind of caring community that we have here. It really makes you remember to “love thy neighbor” and gives you such a sense of family.”
