Why I joined the Chamber
“The day-to-day business challenges can be all encompassing and we sometimes tend to stay in our silos, working to get our jobs done to the best of our ability. At the Chamber Conference, I quickly learned how easy it is to meet and talk with business leaders I might not otherwise have the opportunity to talk with. I have also gained valuable information and knowledge from the General Sessions and the Workshops. I have learned about business trends and met business leaders who were relocating to Tallahassee.”
