Club Leadership 2026-27

Janica VanBrocklin, President

Ever since my first trip with the club, I knew I met my tribe! Getting to know travelers locally, statewide and even across the country is one of the greatest attributes of TBSSB. With my passion for skiing and meeting new people, it was a natural step to take co-leading and then leading some fantastic trips to bucket list destinations. Exploring, and then sharing the best of what each ski destination offers as far as cuisine, activities and sights makes the work worthwhile!

During the past five years as Social Director then VP, I was able to grow relationships and create some exciting events such as touring the murals on bikes in St. Pete, kayaking Honeymoon Island in Dunedin, and floating down the Rainbow River in the heat of summer. Planning our monthly off-season events was a challenge well met and attended!

Our kick-off, fall, Christmas and end of season parties are a great time to experience a welcome atmosphere with fellow travelers sharing their best ski/snowboard stories with hopes of creating more great mountain memories.

I'm looking forward to doing my part to bring more excitement and camaraderie to the TBSSB club this year as President!

Karla Newan, Vice President

I have been a member of TBSSB for nearly 20 years and an active Board member for 15 years. Over the last 16 years, I have led countless trips as a Trip Leader and also served as Trip Committee Chair/Co-Chair for 5 years.

I enjoy leading Ski Trips and Bike & Barge adventures, both domestically and internationally. Through TBSSB, I’ve had the opportunity to meet many incredible travelers who have become friends.

I previously worked in HR management for over 40 years. Currently, I stay busy caring for my granddaughter several days a week. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, paddleboarding, and spending time with family and friends.

I chose to continue serving on the Board this season to help guide TBSSB forward and support its continued growth and success.

John Eberhardt, Assistant Treasurer

For over 10 years as a Trip Leader and 2 years on the Trip Committee, I have dedicated countless hours planning and preparing for our ski trips—because ensuring an incredible experience for all of you is what matters most to me. I’ve had the privilege of leading trips to amazing destinations like Taos, Snowbird/Alta, Park City, Whitefish, Beaver Creek, Big Sky, Crested Butte, Powder Mountain, Snowbasin, Steamboat, Copper Mountain, and soon, Telluride FSC in January 2026. I will bring that same passion and commitment to the Tampa Bay Snow Skiers Board of Directors.

Rosie Kilian, Newsletter Editor/Marketing Director

I am excited to serve as Marketing Director for the club this year! While I am relatively new to the club, having snowboarded with them on three trips, I have quickly developed a strong appreciation for the sense of community and the experiences the club provides. In a short time, I’ve already seen how this group brings people together through shared adventures both on and off the slopes.

Professionally, I work full-time as a data analyst while pursuing my Masters in Data Science, and I was eager to join the board as a way to become more involved and contribute to the club’s continued growth. In my role, I look forward to expanding our social media presence, engaging a broader audience, and helping ensure the club continues to be a welcoming and inclusive community for members of all ages and skill levels!

Peter Doten, Trip Committee Chair

I have been a member of the Club since 2017. After a few years just as a traveler I have started leading trips, created a new Technology Administrator role within the club, and most recently have taken the helm as Trip Committee co-chair. I am looking forward to help bring in new members to the club and ensure we have the best experiences for our travelers for years to come.

I enjoy many of the non ski social activities that our club has to offer like Bike-and-Blades and you can often find me on the Pinellas Trail which is only a few blocks from my home. I have been working in the technology space for over 12 years and have been applying that knowledge to my leadership within the club.

Rob Livingston, Webmaster, Trip Committe Co-Chair

I have lived in the bay area for over forty years and have been graphic freelance artist for over thirty years. I first learned web design in 1999 which married nicely with my knowledge of graphic software.

Peter Doten, Technology Administrator

The 2021-2022 season marks my 6th season with the club and my second as the Technology Administrator. I am looking to take my experience working within the tech sector to make the lives of our board, trip leaders, assistant trip leaders, and travelers easier.

When I am not out on the slopes I enjoy biking, cooking, and spending time with my rescue pup. I became hooked on the club with my very first trip and haven’t looked back!
