DADE CITY For the second time this year, the Greater Dade City Chamber of Commerce will be looking for a new executive director. Tony Lister, who was selected to serve as the chamber's director in April, has resigned. In a resignation e-mail, Lister said he would work full time at the chamber through Aug. 27 and then on a part-time basis as needed. Lister, 37, previously was a teacher at Wesley Chapel High School.

Smith resigned March 12 but had agreed to stay on while a new director was selected and settled into the position. ...more
