The East Orlando Chamber of Commerce hosted its Annual Visioning Luncheon on May 19, 2010, to continue dialogue on community visioning and support the Chamber’s re-energized commitment as Central Florida’s Innovation Gateway. Attendees enjoyed hearing from representatives from some of the most innovative Economic Clusters that continue to propel our economy forward, despite the recent downturn.
Each industry representative addressed their economic impact to our area, industry trends on the horizon that will impact our community, any expected job growth opportunities, and their greatest needs from local businesses and much more.
