Small Business Council Meeting - January

Description

Join the Melbourne Regional Chamber's Small Business Council for its monthly meeting and Networking Event! This month's speaker will be Brian Baluta, Director, Communications & Partner Relations at Economic Development Commission of Florida's Space Coast. 

Brian brought to the EDC two-plus decades of strategic communications experience, including service with three members of the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Department of Justice, a U.S. Senate candidate and Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval.

Skilled in the planning and execution of integrated marketing communications campaigns, Brian has helped diverse audiences better understand complex subject matter, including legislation and policy concerning the economy, health care and tax reform. His work in the Nevada Governor’s Office of Economic Development saw him interface closely with Tesla to oversee the successful roll out of the economic impact study for the electric car company’s $7 billion Gigafactory.

An alumnus of Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communications, Brian, his wife and daughter made the transition from long-time visitors to residents of the Space Coast in 2019, to be closer to family. They’ve since welcomed the arrival of another daughter. He is bullish on the future of Brevard County and excited in his role as Director, Communications and Partner Relations to help cultivate conditions for its success.
