Janel Rowell

My name is Janel Rowell and I was born and raised in Waynesville Missouri where I still live now with my husband Sam of 16 years, and our two boys; Crismon age 13 and Zander, who's 10 or sixteen…sometimes I'm not sure! I work as a General Manager at the Comfort Inn in St Robert/Fort Leonard Wood, part of Fort Wood Hotels by Ehrhardt Properties. I have spent the last 18 years in the Hospitality industry, starting as a housekeeper, working the front desk, and leading in various management positions, including Director of Sales for 5 years and most recently as the General Manager at the Comfort Inn. I definitely enjoy leading a team at the hotel level and the daily interaction with our guests. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Organization Leadership from Drury University and a Certified Hospitality Administrator Degree from the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute.

I appreciate the opportunity to serve on the Board for the Waynesville-St Robert Chamber of Commerce. I enjoy and take seriously my participation in Board meetings and Chamber events and as part of our active Chamber I am looking forward to contributing to continue moving forward to better serve our community. Thank you!
