How Long Have You Been a Daytona Regional Chamber Member and Why Did You Join?
Keiser University, Daytona Beach Campus, has been a member of the Daytona Regional Chamber of Commerce since 1995. My first engagement with the Chamber was approximately four years ago when I became the Dean of Academic Affairs at the campus. My first experience with the Chamber of Commerce was a great one as I had the opportunity to meet many of the outstanding members and business owners in the community.

Business Description
Keiser University is a non-profit, regionally accredited private career university that provides educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels for a diverse student body in traditional, nontraditional and online delivery formats. The main campus is located in Fort Lauderdale, however, there are 25 campuses, including the Daytona Beach Campus, located near the Daytona International Speedway.

Favorite Thing About Being a Daytona Regional Chamber Member?
My favorite aspect of being a Chamber member is the ability to learn more about the Daytona Beach area and determine how my particular organization can add true value to this fantastic community.
