Description
Join the Manatee Chamber of Commerce and Bradenton Area Economic Development Corporation for a special leadership conversation with Shirar O'Connor, CEcD, the EDC’s new President & CEO. She begins her role on June 1, and we’re thrilled to offer this opportunity for our business community to network, engage, and learn.
Rather than a formal “presentation from the podium”, our June Headliners luncheon will offer Chamber and EDC members the opportunity to get to know the region’s newest economic development leader, including her professional background, leadership experience, and what excites her most about the future for our businesses and economy.
Joining the conversation will be EDC Board Chair Chris Cianfaglione and Chamber Board Chair Justin Phillips. Chamber President & CEO Jacki Dezelski, IOM, will help facilitate the discussion.
This is a valuable chance to hear unique perspectives, learn more about the role of the EDC in shaping economic opportunity for the greater Manatee County region, and welcome Shirar as she begins her leadership role.
Cancellations after June 8 will be invoiced as guarantees have been made on your behalf.
