"Brainstorming Sessions" scheduled to plan year's events PDF Print E-mail

Dear Chamber Board Members and Chamber Members:

 It is my hope to continue our morning “brainstorming” sessions and take it to another level of at least twice per month.  Due to my schedule, I was unable to do

one earlier this month.  However, I plan to have one on Friday, Jan. 29, at 7:30 a.m. at Hometown Family Restaurant on Seminole Blvd and another on Saturday, Feb. 6, at 8:00 a.m. at the same location.  These sessions will be one hour and focused on specific subjects.  The first two sessions will focus on our goals  this year and events.  In order to determine what events we will continue or cease, we must all be on the same path to our goals.  We must present our plan for events at the February Board meeting in order to create a solid schedule and start the planning process.  We will have room for 20 people, so please advise if you will be attending.

 Additionally, we need Committee members for Membership and Ambassador.  These are two vital committees and need members to get involved.  Jake Valintine will be chairing the Ambassadors and needs at least 20 team members.  If you are interested, please E-mail him at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call  him at 727-230-9281.  I will be chairing Membership until another Member steps up to the plate for the position.  If you are interested in Membership, please E-mail me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or call me at 813-928-6494.  We need Chamber members to get involved, as the staff and Board cannot do everything that is on our plate this year.
