Final Chance to 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.

Take the survey here. The survey closes Friday.
