Business is Good!
Forrest Heathcott and I, along with the entire Chamber Board, would like to thank you for your support and commitment to the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce (GBRCC). It is a fact that we are still enduring one of the most challenging economies in the history of our nation. These challenges have made us rethink our business modes and become more innovative and efficient in how we operate our organizations. In order to adapt to the challenges of this new economy, the GBRCC has increased its member benefits through additional educational/training programs, networking opportunities and product and service discount programs. We've said it before, but it is worth repeating: now more than ever, engagement with the GBRCC has a direct positive impact on the bottom line of your business. When we do emerge from this recession, it is critical to ensure that your business is in the best position to respond to a favorable economy. To further ensure the stability of our local companies, the GBRCC is engaged in a business retention program with the City of Boca Raton, the Business Development Board and the Workforce Alliance of Palm Beach County. While our community remains an attractive option in recruiting new businesses, it is just as critical to retain those that are providing jobs and contributing to our tax base. The GBRCC continues to develop sound policies and support elected officials that assure private enterprises will have the best opportunity to succeed in the local business environment. A qualified workforce is one of the most essential components of a strong business community. Boca Raton is not only home to some of the finest private schools in the country, but it also has the distinction of having all A-rated public schools. Through the GBRCC Golden Bell Education Foundation, we have contributed to that academic excellence by distributing nearly $1 million into the classroom since the inception of the foundation in 1991. The GBRCC truly believes that Business is Good!™ for every part of Boca Raton and the surrounding communities, from the area’s culture and the arts, to neighborhoods, education and much more. Over the next year, we will constantly be demonstrating the positive effect of good business and working to engage, enrich and enhance Member involvement with the many Chamber programs that support this success. Sincerely, Forrest Heathcott, Chamber Chair Troy M. McLellan, CCE, Chamber President & CEO Click here to view the Business Plan pdf.
