Beaches Daytona Cuts Ribbon on East ISB Location
It was a beautiful afternoon as Dr. Charles Duva and his team at Beaches Daytona celebrated a ribbon cutting for their East ISB location.

Daytona Regional Chamber Ambassadors joined President & CEO Nancy Keefer, Daytona Beach City Manager Deric Feacher, Zone 3 City Commissioner Quanita May, friends, colleagues, and community members, to help Dr. Duva and his team honor the occasion. We're so happy to have this wonderful food and entertainment venue for locals and visitors to enjoy.
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8. Have You Prepared?
Mother’s Day is an ideal way to honor the women in your life who have helped you become the person you are today. In recent years, it has surpassed the celebration of one’s own mother and encompassed grandmothers, women we think of as second mothers, mother-in-laws, fur moms, best friends, and even female mentors. Mother’s Day is also a great way to honor women in our world who have made a difference.

Broadening the definition of mother also allows for a more inclusive celebration on a day that can, for some, be a sad occasion. While everyone may not have a mother living or a good relationship with one who is, everyone has a special woman in their lives who they can celebrate.

Mother’s Day can now be transformed into a time to honor those women who have nurtured us and helped us grow, whether they gave birth to us or not. Keep that in mind in your marketing. READ MORE

Calling Elevate Daytona Beach Presenters: Auditions Underway
Have you attended Elevate Daytona Beach in the past and been inspired to share your story, passion, or expertise? Auditions are now scheduled for Elevate Daytona Beach presented by AdventHealth, and will be held at the Museum of Arts & Sciences from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. on May 5, May 19 and June 2.

Elevate talks are a forum for ideas, not for marketing. It is not that presenters are not allowed to talk about their work or your business, but should do so in such a way that it informs a larger idea.

The goal is to get people thinking and talking.

Click the "I Want to Audition" button below for available dates and times.
Need Inspiration?
We're here to help inspire your story and encourage you to audition for Elevate Daytona Beach. Seeing how others have done it in the past is a great way to cultivate your own ideas.

In this video, Mykal Tairu of St. Vincent de Paul Orlando inspired the audience with his story of "Money, Power, Perceptions".

If you have an idea to share, sign up to audition!
