The Miami Beach Chamber of Commerce has been listening to your concerns and we are here to help you.
The Chamber staff, which includes Jerry Libbin, Enid Rodriguez, Danny Diaz, Alicia Pardey, Alana Millman, James Cavalaris, Andrew Jackson, SuBrena GrahamFoster and Leslie Ann Reams have been working tirelessly to help be a resource for our business community. Every day we have attended tele conferences with the City of Miami Beach to receive current information and ask question on your behalf.
I’d like to recognize two companies that sit on our board that have worked together to assist our community in this time of crisis. In response to the shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for health workers treating patients during the coronavirus pandemic, Florida International University (represented by John Stuart) and Baptist Health South Florida (represented by Erin Dowd) partnered to create 3D-print reusable face shields. They were featured in CBS Local, Miami Herald and WSVN Channel 7.
Below are a few ways that we are helping to serve the public and business community.
The Chamber has never been more active with virtual events, meetings, workshops and classes. From Zumba with Baptist Health South Florida, to meditations with Innergy Meditation, to marketing workshops with Tropic Survival and legal advice from Pardo Jackson Gainsburg, Trembly Law – we invite you to check our events page by clicking here.
