To see an unsung hero of our Chamber, we salute our Member of the Day: Jean Metcalfe Frankovitch, Retired Board Secretary, Board Member, and Staff Member. Please join the Chamber as we applaud Jean for over seven years of service on our Pittsburg - Camp Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and staff.
Even though she retired from official Chamber service in September, Jean agreed to volunteer at our Paint Pitt Pink last week (see photograph) and has signed up to volunteer at Home for the Holidays on December 5, 2026. Jean is a Rock Star!
We are confident Jean learned her compassion, spunky personality, and strong work ethic as the eldest of three daughters in New Jersey, wife to her husband, Steve Frankovitch, for 43 years, and partner in their Arizona excavation company for over 30 years. Jean wore all hats in the business as the full-time accountant, part-time truck driver, fill-in parts runner, and flashlight holder whenever Steve hollered.
To know Jean is to understand that she'd never sit still. She later retired from the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles and went back to photography school. Her commercial studio operated successfully in Arizona until she relocated to Texas in 2013 to be near her daughter and son-in-law.
Arizona's loss is our gain. Since relocating, Jean has given her time to our Chamber, the Museum, and the Pittsburg Lions Club. Jean loves animals, 50's music, cooking, traveling, and her community. Thank you, Jean, for everything you have done and will continue to do for our Chamber, Pittsburg, and Camp County!
