NEW INITIATIVE
In an effort to make it easier for our members to do business with government, The Chamber will provide information, help with questions and problems and assist you in navigating through various bureaucratic channels. Look for future FAQ’s, “Did you know?” and general information to help you.
For more information on this, please contact Valorie Hillerich, Business Assistance and Research Specialist, 941.556.4047
Partners, Key Issues and Projects
The Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce, through efforts of its Sarasota Tomorrow Action Council, Chamber staff, key volunteers and partners, remains extremely active in a variety of issues of importance to the economic vitality of the greater Sarasota region.
Examples include:
The Economic Development Corporation (EDC)
The Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County has completed the 2008 Business Climate Survey to determine the attitudes of Sarasota County's business owners/managers about the existing business climate. The results identified key issues to be addressed, and are used as a baseline to measure progress toward improving these specific concerns and the overall business climate in the county.
Review the EDC's Business Climate Survey.
The Coalition of Business Associations
As a founding member of this newly formed voice for business, The Chamber has joined with other business associations. The group's objective is to exercise the strength of the combined 9,000 members to improve the area's business climate and improve citizen understanding in the health and future of our economy and quality of life.
