The Big Idea

Your Week Ahead

How are you leveraging your Daytona Regional Chamber membership? This week there are two unique opportunities to put your membership to work by building your knowledge about a local manufacturer and learning leadership tips from a prominent businessman and community leader. Both experiences are sure to showcase insider information that is exclusive to Chamber members.

Members can also benefit from the new podcast discussion with the Volusia County Emergency Management Director regarding emergency preparedness. Creating an emergency plan for your business is a must with an active hurricane season forecast.

The Independence Day holiday week is almost here! It's time for summertime fun, but don't forget to plan ahead for the Daytona Regional Chamber's upcoming events in July. Register today to reserve your spot.

We hope that you have a productive week ahead, and we look forward to seeing each of you at an event soon.
