Slater has spent several years traveling while working remotely teaching English as a Foreign Language to students from all over the world. “I’ve traveled to more than half the states in our country, as well as over 50 incredible cities in 10 other countries, and Seneca County is still the only place that feels like home. I’m so excited to take what I’ve learned and apply it to help our region thrive.”
She brings a wealth of enthusiasm and experience to the position. She has made a positive impact on the community through her previous employment with the Seneca County Workforce Development and Youth Bureau.

Slater aims to form positive relationships with local businesses, learn and grow professionally, and provide value to the Chamber and the region as a whole. “We’re fortunate to have many brilliant people here, and we can accomplish great things when we work together.”
