Local Leader Jennifer Rominiecki to be Honored as 2024 Voice of Sarasota at Upcoming Tourism Event

National Travel and Tourism Week, a yearly event, will also kick off Savor Sarasota Restaurant Week this year. The Visit Sarasota County Board will give the Voice of Sarasota award during the event. This award honors someone who has significantly boosted Sarasota County's tourism. Jennifer Rominiecki, President and CEO of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, will receive the 2024 award.

Rominiecki played a key role in transforming Selby Gardens into a living museum. This change led to a significant increase in membership and revenue. She also helped create strategic plans and the first net-positive energy restaurant in the world. Rominiecki is currently the Chair of the Board of Directors for VISIT FLORIDA and serves on several other boards.

In addition to her work at Selby Gardens, Rominiecki is a board member of several local organizations. She lives in Sarasota with her husband, Robert, and their two sons.

Rominiecki will receive the award at the National Travel and Tourism Week celebration at the Bird Key Yacht Club on May 14. She will join past recipients of the Voice of Sarasota award, including Michael Klauber (2023) and Fredrick J. Piccolo (2022).

Visit Sarasota County, the event's organizer, leads and supports the local tourism industry. Their goal is to promote tourism and travel by offering innovative marketing programs and promotions.
