Description
Join us for our first Chamber Headliners luncheon of 2026 to hear a "State of the Cities" address. Decisions made at the local level impact our daily lives and local policies are key to meeting challenges and capitalizing on opportunities. Sharing the voice of business is an important advocacy role for our Chamber as is connecting our members to elected leaders.
We have invited the Mayors from the Cities of Anna Maria, Bradenton, Bradenton Beach, Holmes Beach, Longboat Key, and Palmetto to join us. Come learn from these local leaders and share your thoughts on what makes our region the ideal destination to visit, live, work, play, and own a business.
Invited and/or confirmed speakers are:
Mayor Gene Brown, City of Bradenton
Mayor John Chappie, City of Bradenton Beach
Mayor Judy Titsworth, City of Holmes Beach
Mayor Ken Schneier, Town of Longboat Key
Mayor Mark Short, City of Anna Maria
Mayor Dan West, City of Palmetto
The Manatee Chamber's Headliners luncheons offer key insights into important business and community topics while providing valuable networking opportunities. Individual open seating reservations are available, as are full and half-tables for reserved, guaranteed seating together.
