If you know you need to use Facebook to promote your business but are not sure what to write, join us for “Developing Online Content” with Richard and Cheri Martin from WCN Interactive on July 13.  They are the gurus of social media and this will be a terrific training to attend to get ideas on content generation.  It is free for members.

Our Entrepreneurial/Leadership Breakfast on July 19 features Bryan Price, owner of the local Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants.  He is a dynamic young entrepreneur who has found success with his business model.

Save the date for the Space Coast Symposium on Friday September 22, from 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., at the Space Coast Convention Center off 520 in Cocoa.  This event features federal, state and county leaders providing panel and presentation discussions about the state of Brevard County.  This is a “do not miss” event featuring confirmed participants: US Congressman Bill Posey; Florida Senators Dorothy Hukill and Debbie Mayfield; Florida Representatives Thad Altman and Randy Fine; Economic Development Commission CEO Lynda Weatherman; Tourism Development Council Executive Director Eric Garvey; Port Canaveral Port Authority Chairman Thomas Weinber; Indian River Lagoon Council Executive Director Duane De Freese; Space Florida representative TBD; Brevard County Commissioner Representative TBD; Orlando Melbourne International Airport Authority Representative TBD and Brevard County School Board Chairwoman Misty Belford among others.
