The Countdown Has Begun!

Join us for our last signature event of the year on Friday, November 18th at the Duran Golf Club, Viera. There is still time to sign up for your company's participation. This Corporate Cup Pro-Am offers your company valuable marketing, networking and entertainment opportunities. For more information on sponsorship opportunities, reach out to Mel Thomas.

 
 

'Tis The Season to Give Back!

As we embark on the season of giving thanks, the Melbourne Regional Chamber has created an opportunity for our partners to "Pay It Forward". Have you ever wanted to help a small business owner or nonprofit get in front of a crowd and give them a chance to share their story?


Our Pay It Forward Campaign allows partners that may not be able to afford sponsorships the opportunity to get in front of a room where they can shine and share their message to the appropriate audience. 


We are currently seeking donors, so if you are interested in helping a small business or nonprofit in need, please contact Mel Thomas, for more information.
