A Fresh Start 2021

If we have learned nothing else from 2020, it was to expect the unexpected. What started out as a strong year, 2020 became a blur of never-ending masks, quarantines, shortages, fatigue, zoom meetings and, well you get the picture. I don’t know anyone that is not ready to put this year behind us. The East Orlando Chamber pivoted quickly early in the pandemic and has incorporated a mixture of virtual and hybrid events to meet the needs of businesses and the community. Cautiously welcoming 2021, we are focused on industry and the needs of our members making recovery possible.

The Chamber is here to facilitate unique offerings to elevate your businesses visibility and connect you with others to help your business thrive. Testimonial Tuesday features our members on a live broadcast allowing them to share personal and professional information with listeners. The Member Academy shows new members how to use the valuable resources provided with handson training to jump start their chamber journey. Taking it one step further, the EOCC Spark 365 Brain Trust is an intimate meeting of the minds helping to decode problems, design solutions and offer leads our members desire.

Starting in January, Pete Folch with Second Wind – Finish Strong, Inc. will inspire us as we celebrate our 2020 Chamber champions during our annual recognition luncheon and installation of our 2021 Board of Directors. The Honorable Judge Eric Dubois will install our board as Karen Jensen (Orlando Health) passes the gavel to our 2021 Board Chair, Martha Santoni (Nemours Children’s Hospital). Redefine the possibilities for your success, attending the East Orlando Chamber January luncheon, January 27, 2021 from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM at Bonefish Grill Waterford. Register today for a memorable kick off to a New Year.

We have an exciting lineup for 2021 including our February 3rd Women in Successful Endeavors (WISE) luncheon featuring Women in Tech moderated by Avani Desai, President of Schellman & Company, Inc. hosted at The Celeste Hotel. OPTIC – Orlando Professional Technical Innovation Council is virtual March 12th from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM focusing on Teleworking | Tele managing, inspiring employees and offering leadership presented in partnership with Full Sail University. The Connect 4 for Real Estate and Property Professionals is returning in collaboration with Orlando Regional Realtors Association.
