There are many ways that your business will benefit by placing an ad in the 2025 Business Directory & Community Guide. You don’t want to miss this opportunity! Our new directory and community guide is received by the Sebastian community with great anticipation and support every Spring. We give these guides to our guests at the Pelican Porch Visitor Center, mail inquiries, all community events that the SRACC participates in each year and to any member that wishes to provide them at their location.
We are looking forward to a busy Spring season and I want to make sure your membership is at its’ peak performance. I am offering membership check-up appointments for all members. No matter how long you have been a member… let’s look at how your membership is working for you. Give me a call (772) 589-5969 and we will schedule you for a 30-minute session.
Our new Member Mingle is coming up on January 29, 2025, make sure to save this date. I am looking forward to getting all our new members within the last 6 months together to share their experiences and learn how to get the most of your new membership with the Chamber.
I have enjoyed meeting and working with our new and existing members. And, I lam excited to be a part of growing your businesses for years to come.
With Gratitude,
Jennifer Elkin
Membership Director
