The Florida Chamber of Commerce will participate in National Support Your Local Chamber of Commerce Day on October 15, joining chambers across the country to recognize the contributions of more than 200 local and regional chambers in the state. The event highlights the role these organizations play in supporting businesses, building talent pipelines, promoting infrastructure projects, and advocating for policies to improve Florida’s competitiveness.
Mark Wilson, President & CEO of the Florida Chamber of Commerce, said, “Local chambers are the heartbeat of Florida’s communities. They give businesses a voice, champion entrepreneurship, and bring the Florida 2030 Blueprint to life at the local level. We’re proud to work to ensure Florida remains the best place in the world to live, work, learn, and do business with Florida’s local chamber network. As I’ve said many times, show me a strong community and I’ll show you a strong chamber.”
On October 15, the Florida Chamber will highlight local chambers that demonstrate leadership in workforce development, economic diversification, and community prosperity. The organization encourages businesses and community partners to participate by tagging their local chamber on social media, sharing success stories, and using hashtags such as #SupportYourLocalChamber, #FloridaChamber, and #FloridaBusiness.
The Florida Chamber of Commerce is described as the state’s largest federation of employers, chambers of commerce, and associations. For over a century, it has worked to unite the business community to create economic opportunities and jobs while focusing on securing Florida’s future.
