Welcome to the Vero Heritage Board, Jason Beal! 🍊

Vero Heritage is proud to welcome Jason Beal as the newest member of our Board of Directors!

A fifth-generation Indian River County native, Jason has deep roots in the community and a family history woven into the earliest days of Vero Beach. His Beal ancestors, along with his maternal Reams and Knight families, were among the early settlers of John’s Island, where they farmed beans and helped shape the community we know today. His family’s agricultural legacy continued into the citrus industry, with his grandfather serving as a citrus grower and co-owner of White Groves in the 1960s.

Earlier this year, we had the privilege of recognizing Jason and his family’s local legacy as an honoree at our Deeply Rooted Gala. We’re thrilled that he will now play an active role in helping Vero Heritage preserve and share the stories of our community for generations to come.

Jason brings more than 31 years of experience in the title insurance industry as the owner of Atlantic Coastal Land Title Company.

Please join us in giving Jason a warm welcome to the Vero Heritage Board! We are excited to have another generation of local history helping us preserve the stories, places, and traditions that make Indian River County home. 🍊
