Member of the Month: Maxence Doytier

When joining the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce in September 2022, Maxence Doytier, Founder/Chief Public Art Curator of Twenty6North Productions, directly realized the value of how he could build his small business locally. “Being a member of the Chamber opens a wide range of opportunities to participate and network at your own pace.” Maxence shares his observation, “Initially, you can attend Council meetings and connect with other small businesses. As you become more engaged, you may join a Council as an active member, which could lead to an invitation to serve on a committee. By consistently supporting a Council's missions, you can eventually be nominated and elected to a Board position.”
