Seel becomes chairwoman of Pinellas Commission

CLEARWATER -- County Commissioner Karen Seel was chosen unanimously as the new chairwoman of the Pinellas board today, succeeding Commissioner Calvin Harris. Seel moves up from vice chair.

Commissioner Susan Latvala got the nod as the new vice chairwoman.

The posts are largely procedural and ceremonial, but provide a bit of a political pedestal for the year the member holds one of them.
