Good morning, Elizabeth!

While we are grateful Hurricane Debby made landfall well to our east, our thoughts are with those who were and still are in its path. If you have not already prepared your home and business for an emergency, check out these resources from the Florida Chamber Safety Council.

Take the 2025 Florida Business Agenda Survey

The Florida Chamber is already building the 2025 Florida Business Agenda to ensure the right things get done (and ensure the wrong things don’t) in Tallahassee and Washington, D.C., and your input is needed. Please take a few minutes to share what you need from your elected officials to make Florida even more competitive for your company, industry, and employees’ success. Your leadership, expertise and feedback are essential as we unite businesses to secure Florida’s future.
