20160419_145641

Who is Karen Sindel?

Karen is a highly accomplished business executive with experience in operations, P&L management and strategic planning with both startup and growth companies. Results oriented, decisive leader with a proven success in new market identification, client management and retention, strategic thinking and problem solving. She has a proven track record of increasing client involvement and profitability. Karen has a tendency to thrive in dynamic environments while remaining a self motivator and focused.

 

Why I am Running for District 1

Running for District 1 Commissioner is a natural progression of my over 20 year of public and community service for the citizens of Escambia County. I have served on the County’s Planning Board and the Santa Rosa Island Authority Board and in various senior management positions for groups ranging from the National Flight Academy and Naval Aviation Museum Foundation to the Florida Association of Local Housing Finance Authorities and the NW Florida March of Dimes.

The impact of the Navy Federal expansion, the development of OLF8 and the influx of nearly $60 million in RESTORE funds requires a leader with my long history of public service and proven success at problem solving, consensus building and a common sense approach to smart growth. My 10 years of experience on the County’s Planning Board give me the substantial experience you need to address the significant potential developments planned for District 1. It is critical that we plan for and accommodate the impact that the developments will have on current residents and business owners as well as the County.

My husband, Tod, and I have owned land in Nature Trail and are planning to build our home there. We are happy that we have commenced that process having selected a builder and hope to be in our new home by August.

 

Positive Leadership. Proven Results.

Karen has a history of fiscal responsibility as well as “turning around” organizations. Junior Achievement of Northwest Florida, March of Dimes, National Flight Academy, to name a few. Whether it’s working with volunteers or Boards of Directors, Karen’s proven ability to gather support and work with groups, large and small, makes her a necessity for communities, local and state governments.

Power of E3 © 2015. All Rights Reserved

Annalee Leonard, Founder & President of Mainstay Financial Group had a dream….that dream was to have an annual day of education, enlightenment & empowerment for women in the 55+ age group. In addition, the event would generate donations  to help women that may not be able to afford their own health care. That dream became a reality when Mainstay Financial partnered with Sacred Heart Senior Services to present the first Power of E3 day in March 2014. The successful event was followed by the second E3 day in 2015.  E3 2014 generated a modest donation and E3 2015 resulted in a $5000 donation to Sacred Heart Hospital Foundation!

E3 2016 Annual Day of Education, Enlightenment and Empowerment for  women 55 and over will be even bigger & better!

This women only event with WEAR-TV Anchor Sue Straughn as emcee will feature speakers Kathleen Logan, Annalee Leonard, Suzanne Bush, MD and Laticia “Action” Jackson. Each speaker will focus on topics particular to women 55 years and over.  See the Speaker tab for further information about the speakers.

Heather Reichmann/Moms Making 6 Figures

I hold many hats as most women do! By day, an Account Manager for an International Technology Company, by night a dance teacher and also a wife and mother to two amazing boys. I am a dancer and an artist.  As I was introduced to Mom’s Making Six Figures, I found a way to supplement an additional income so that I could start paying off our debt. When you don’t have any debt, you have options. Options lead to freeing up my time, while still having an income that won’t change our lifestyle. Hopefully it will improve it! I am ready to start slowing down and really enjoying my life and my family. The day to day struggles of juggling a high stress career and trying to balance that with family have left me gasping for air at times. Moms Making Six Figures has really opened my eyes to a calm that I didn’t know could exist! www.momsmakingsixfigures.com

ANNOUNCING MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS FOR POWERFUL WOMEN OF THE GULF COAST!

Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast has formerly existed for 3 years providing benefits to women in business looking to grow personally and professionally. In addition to the monthly meetings in Pensacola and Gulf Breeze and an annual conference, we also publish a quarterly print magazine. However, during this time many of our attendees have requested more opportunities to become more active and gain more exposure within our organization. We also see value in creating a unified front of supporters who are willing to stand together to support women in business. For many reasons, Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast recently announced membership options. Anyone interested can apply for either Traditional Membership or Premier Membership at first year introductory rate offers.

Traditional membership includes the following benefits for $30 per year: Simple listing in PWGC Member App (view online at www.powerfulwomenapp.com), personalized PWGC name tag, recognition at Pursue Your Passion conference, and eligible to be drawn for PWGC Meeting Sponsor role at monthly meeting.

Men and women can apply and attending the monthly meetings is not a requirement to be eligible for membership.

“The PWGC Member App and the opportunity for a member spotlight in the PWGC Magazine are both examples of great opportunities to be visible within our organization that didn’t exist before we rolled out membership,” said Kolleen Edwards Chesley, Founding Director, Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast. “We wanted affordable options that weren’t tied to having to attend our meetings but still gave members exposure and inclusion in our group.”

For more details or to apply, email directors@powerfulwomengulfcoast.com.

Kolleen’s personal mission is to “be the change you want to see in the world” (Gandhi) and she believes that if we all did what we were most passionate about, the world would be greatly changed. Last October, Kolleen took a leap of faith and left a 25 year career as a Financial Advisor to pursue her passion, running Powerful Women of the Gulf Coast full time. “We are excited about the collaborative culture we have built and can’t wait to see where it takes us and how we can support women in business.”

Erik Hansen   – Realtor / Team Leader & Golf Committee Chairman
Hansen Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Gulf Coast — Cokesbury Church Golf Tournament

 

A little about me and my family: I am a true Pensacola native, and have lived only one other place in my entire life. In 2001, my wife (Angie) and I moved to Orlando to start college and life as a married couple. I jumped into real estate while I was still in college at the University of Central Florida in Orlando back in 2003. After a year learning the real estate business and finishing up at UCF, I joined up with Keller Williams Realty in East Orlando and began really building my business. I partnered up with a Team Leader which catapulted me to the top in a very short time period. In the summer of 2013, after being back in Pensacola since 2009, I jumped back into real estate. In January 2016, I rejoined Keller Williams Realty with my entire team. Since that summer of 2013, I have built a successful real estate team that consistently produces in the TOP 10 of real estate teams in Pensacola. We currently have 4 Buyer Specialists (Cathy Paulsen, Rusty Mack, Renee Decker and Jane Oberbeck), a full time Transaction Coordinator (Carly Murphy), Listing Coordinator (Angie Hansen), and a part time Runner (Janice Paulsen). The team approach gives a level of service unmatched by the average single agent. Our staff and Buyer Specialists have the skills and experience to handle all your real estate needs! In 2015, our team closed 90 transactions and are on track for 150 transactions in 2016.

 

Looking to purchase your first home or downsizing into a smaller home? We can help. Thinking about investing in real estate to build wealth and a retirement? We have the plan for you.

Selling real estate is a science and we have the system in place to get you the most money for your home!

 

In addition to being passionate about real estate, I love giving back to my community, traveling with the family to explore new destinations, watching football with friends in the fall, relaxing on Pensacola Beach in the summer, and occasionally playing (attempting to play) golf! My wife, son Peyton and I attend Cokesbury United Methodist Church here in Pensacola. I am the current Golf Tournament Committee Chariman and we recently raised over $10,000 for three local charities. My wife, Angie, is on the Board at Cokesbury Children’s Center, where our son attends pre-school. I am also a member of the Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club, which raises over $50,000 for local charities every year at events such as HogFest in the Spring and Dragon Boat Festival in the summer. We have a ton of fun giving back to our community and want to teach our son the importance of faith, family and community involvement.
