Jan Winters is a Local Government. Colleagues describe them as "Jan is a true visionary. He has an uncanny ability to see solutions where most of us are merely looking at a group of numbers. He conveys his observations to the Board in a manner that allows them to use those insights for building community consensus. Extend even a little trust to him and your community will be rewarded with more progress and fewer conflicts. He is one of the most extraordinary individuals I met during 16 years of public service." and "Jan brought great leadership to Charlotte County. He was able to bring the community together to approve a 1% sales tax bringing much needed improvements in parks, sidewalks, road improvements and many other projects. He always looked for ways to bring sensible efficiencies to local government and took the time to understand the needs and culture of our community."
