PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

This week we welcomed Karen Mathis who recapped the biggest business events in Jacksonville during 2020 and provided a look forward to things on the horizon for 2021. If you want to keep up with the all things in Jacksonville follow Karen’s articles in the Financial News and Daily Record’s website.

We have had two great meetings at our new home, Doubletree Hotel Riverfront, and look forward to seeing more members attend our meetings and get involved in the great civic projects and social events we have planned for this year. Starting next week I will take a few minutes to highlight projects and events in this space, keep an eye out for ways to get involved and make the most from your membership!
