PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

First, I would like to thank all those who attended last week's virtual meeting and helped make it a success. Last week we welcomed Congressman John Rutherford as he gave an informative talk about the programs and financial assistance Florida and the Federal Government have implemented to aid businesses and citizens who have been effected by COVID-19. He gave his views on how de-coupling from China could benefit the City of Jacksonville, as we would capitalize on new trades being brought to the East Coast. We can't wait to see you in person at this week's live meeting!

2020 1st Vice President
