We hope you're doing very well!

Here's a quick recap of Chamber activity over the last weeks, along with a list of the diverse events and activities that are lined up for the next couple months, for the Chamber and the community—with lots of visuals. 

And thanks very much to Palm Tree Club for hosting some of our past events, as well as some of our upcoming events!

The energy within the Chamber and the local businesses in our small but highly-engaged heart of the bay community is fantastic. And it's only getting started!

Activity: Community Ideation Session

Our first Community Ideation Session at Chamber member Moda, Chamber Founding Members Dave O’Hagan and Doris Acosta, facilitated the first of many Community Ideation sessions with our fantastic members!

The session was focused on creative ideas for unique Chamber events and activities that support business growth, engagement, and community.

Participants in teams dove into interactive brainwriting, brainwalking, and mind mapping—generating a diverse range of ideas that included a spin on speed dating, a community business visit event that supported non-brick & mortar businesses, and of course a number of events that included food, drink, music, and sport.

Keep an eye out for our next ideation session!

Event: GGA Insurance & Bonds networking event

Chamber Founding Member GGA Insurance & Bonds recently hosted a networking event on April 10, focused on the power of being a trusted advisor. The Biscayne Bay views was a gorgeous backdrop as industry professionals exchanged ideas and shared strategies for delivering exceptional client service. It was a very engaging evening that reinforced the importance of trust, expertise, and genuine relationships in today's business landscape.

Stay tuned for more upcoming Founding Member events, including Benihana (keep scrolling) and Julie's Realty, coming soon!

And here we go with a range of upcoming events (that we're already hungry for!)...

Events: The more traditional networking events, mixers, educational sessions, connecting resources, and identifying opportunities

Activities: A broad range of activities that will include elements of family, business partners, our environment, and even animals and pets—all focused on us as a person, and us as a community

• Event: SoFloTechFriends Spring Edition Networking, March 6, 4 to 630pm, Palm Tree Club (1819 79th Street Causeway)

The Community Ideation Session activity is key to supporting you as members, so we can provide programming that meets your goals.

We want to ensure your reason for joining is heard, reflected and met through this Chamber.

As for non-members (and Village residents) this is equally important, and you’re welcome to join us too!

We’re only as great as we are aligned with the community we serve.

The ideation session will be facilitated to produce a comfortable, energized, and productive sharing of ideas.

Excited to innovate with you all, and see you there!
