Description
Manatee Chamber members are invited to a special "meet and greet" opportunity with candidates who will be on the Primary Election ballot in August for County Commission and School Board races in Manatee and Sarasota Counties as well as state-wide office and Congress.
This free members-only event is designed to connect our members to candidates within our region. We aim to inspire dialogue on issues that matter to our members while ensuring the voice of business is represented. It will also be a great networking event among the partner organizations serving as hosts.
The Manatee Chamber is a partner with the Bradenton Area Economic Development Corporation, Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County, Lakewood Ranch Business Alliance, Realtor Association of Sarasota and Manatee, and Sarasota Chamber to offer this opportunity to our members.
