Ann E. Cosentino, Commissioner
Ann Cosentino was born and raised not in pink, but rather red, white and blue.
She spent her childhood in many small towns throughout the United States as a dependent of the Navy (BRAT). Settling in Florida, she graduated from Key West High School and
went on to Penn State University, where she earned a degree in Integrative Arts. Ann began her career at the local Pasco Tampa Tribune office and continued to thrive in publishing and advertising in Tampa. Looking for a more connected lifestyle, she and her husband James with baby in tow found their happy place in Dade City – a community that won her heart and ignited her passion. Currently, she runs a boutique design firm servicing mid to large-sized corporate clients offering branding and graphic design. Ann and James love old homes and have renovated the “Burnside” Family home to make it their own. She makes time for phone free family time at the dinner table most nights and encourages (bribes) her kids to play board games alongside her. Her term will expire in April of 2026.
You can reach her at 352.737.2611 or by email at acosentino@dadecityfl.com
Lisa Simon, Commissioner
Lisa's love of all things historic began in her hometown of New Orleans and has only continued to grow since moving to Florida in 1984. In Jacksonville, Lisa and her husband of 39 years restored their 1909 home in the Springfield historic district. During this time, Lisa served on many boards, including the Jacksonville Historic Commission, so it wasn't surprising she got involved in Dade City as soon as she made this charming town her home. Lisa began as a member of the Historic Board in Dade City before being appointed to her current position as Commissioner. Being the owner of a home built by a local citrus grower, Lisa has become captivated by the rich history and lore of Dade City. Lisa worked in education and real estate for many years before retiring from both fields. She is a mother to five children, and grandmother, lovingly known as "Weezie," to five grandchildren who love to explore the shops downtown and attend the local festivals when they come to visit.
Lisa Simon was selected to fill a vacancy and her term will expire in April of 2024. You can reach her at 352.584.2934 or at lsimon@dadecityfl.com
