Greetings From Your Chamber President!

By Patty Archer

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the support of pro-business policies are crucial for fostering economic prosperity. As a Chamber of Commerce, we understand the vital role we play in promoting the growth and success of our local business community. By advocating for policies that create a favorable business environment, we can drive economic growth and enhance our area’s competitiveness.

Legislative Advocacy serves as a powerful catalyst for change, providing a platform for businesses to voice their concerns, ideas, and aspirations. By actively engaging with policymakers and stakeholders, we can help shape policies that reduce regulatory burdens, foster innovation, and create opportunities for businesses to thrive. Pro-business policies, such as tax incentives, streamlined licensing processes, and infrastructure improvements, help attract investment, encourage entrepreneurship, and create jobs.

We invite you to join us for our 2nd Annual Eggs & Issues Legislative Breakfast, sponsored by Waste Pro, on Wednesday, August 30th in Pembroke Pines. A number of our local elected officials will be joining us for a discussion and taking questions ahead of the fall committee sessions in Tallahassee. Attendees must register through our events calendar.

It is important to recognize that advocacy is an ongoing effort. The Chamber continues to build relationships, communicate positions through our legislative agenda, and keep you informed about emerging issues and opportunities. The Chamber takes seriously its responsibility for advocacy work that strengthens the collective voice of our business community. Together, we can advocate for policies that support a vibrant business ecosystem, benefiting not only our members but also the entire community.

Marbles Vasquez just turned 6 on June 4. She became a member of our family a year ago and has been one the family’s greatest blessings. From her auntie to her Buela and all that visit our home, immediately they fall in love with her gentle, friendly and lovable nature. Her best friends are her god-sister Ditto and her neighbor Chimi and she enjoys chasing tennis balls and the lizards in our yard, getting long walks, getting a Pup Cup at Starbucks and afternoon naps in one of her three beds (yes, she’s spoiled!) but her favorite location is cuddling in on our sofa next to one of her human family members.

Yours

in Service, Patty Archer Chamber President
