CHAMBER BUZZ
10 Chamber Priorities from your 2015-2016 Board

Recently, your Chamber Board of Directors met to review strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities facing our member employers, The Chamber itself, and the greater Sarasota community. To stimulate their discussions, they started the work session by looking at eight trends that will affect your businesses, local organizations, and The Chamber between now and the year 2025.

 As we approach our  95th Annual Membership Meeting and Luncheon, we reflect on the successes of the past year, but also look to the following priority areas and objectives for our fiscal year running from October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
