The Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce is very excited to announce that we will be launching a brand-new website soon. This new website will have a modern look along with interactive member pages that will allow for you to create job postings, view member-to-member deals, stay up to date with upcoming community and chamber events and learn more about the Apopka area.
As we get closer to our live date, we'll be scheduling a time frame to educate our members on how you can best promote your business through our new website.
Stay tuned!

Business After Hours - Hosted by
UCF Business Incubator
|
|
The Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce hosted July's Business After Hours on July 26th, at the UCF Business Incubator in Apopka.
This awesome evening of fellowship and networking included plenty of food and refreshments from several Chamber members including Marco's Pizza, Sus Hi Eatstation, Beef 'O' Brady's and Something Fishy. Plus, this was a fantastic opportunity to reach new and returning chamber members, all in one exciting evening! Finally, we want to thank Orange County Commissioner Rod Love for joining us!
Business After Hours is one of the two complimentary opportunities each month (a total of 24 free opportunities throughout the year), that is included as part of your membership.
We look forward to seeing each of you at our next B.A.H. that will be hosted by the Sams's Club in Apopka on Thursday, August 30, 2018.

On Friday, July 27th, we celebrated the last day of our Apopka Youth Works intern, Jackie Baez-Lloyd. Jackie was a fantastic addition to our office over the past few months and we wish her the best of luck as she begins college soon!
Apopka Youth Works is a partnership between the
City of Apopka and CareerSource Central Florida
that provides Apopka-area high school juniors and seniors a unique opportunity to explore a variety of rewarding careers in the Apopka area.
Plus, it prepares young people for their first entry into the workplace by teaming them up with local businesses that will guide them through a summer of fulfilling and educational employment.

Businesses today reflect a wide range of structures and sizes. Therefore, not all memberships are one-size-fits-all. The Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce recognizes the need for transparency of our chamber benefits, as well as diversity in investment options that fit the vision of the chamber "to build a prosperous and sustainable community." To take your chamber membership to the next level, please give us a call and ask us about our new Lead and Connect Membership tiers.
