Greater Impact
There is no impact without activities, and we focus our activity on where we can make the greatest impact.
- In Economic Development, we focus on business retention, workforce development, and entrepreneurship.
- In tourism, we started our efforts with the Visitors Information Center in Ponte Vedra Beach, and we impact the development of tourism assets in Ponte Vedra with our new role as a destination architect.
- In emergencies, we fill the role of the business community’s connection to necessary resources. We make an impact by reducing any business interruption to a minimum.
- We increase the awareness and visibility of the role of the Public Policy Committee internally and externally.
- We make membership benefits simple and easy to explain, we will set clear expectations for what members get from their investment. We close the loop by telling them what they received from us… telling our story will help in retention, recruitment, advocacy, and economic development.
- We create concise marketing & communications plans to convey the value of membership to both members and non-members alike as well as others with a vested interest in our community.
