About us
For nearly a century, the Florida Chamber of Commerce has fought for free enterprise and worked to secure Florida’s future. Through research, advocacy and leadership, the Florida Chamber Foundation, the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Chamber Political Operations work together to help make our vision of Florida’s future a reality. This vision led to the development of a long-term strategic plan for Florida, also known as the Six Pillars™ 20-year Strategic Plan. As we faced the closing years of the last decade, Florida’s economy was clearly changing and the politics of Florida were calling for the business community to unite. Despite temporary loss in population growth, it was clear Florida would be facing an expanded population between five and seven million more residents by the year 2030. We must do a better job planning for the next seven million Floridians than we did for the last seven million.

#BusinessDoingGood 👏 Thank you to our Community Development Partners Duke Energy Corporation for their dedication to restoring power to Florida communities in the aftermath of #HurricaneMilton.
Our crews are working to assess the damage to our Florida service footprint after #Milton made landfall, along with emergency response agencies, residents and others who are taking stock of what is needed in the days ahead. Milton was a force, bringing a record 11.5 inches of rainfall to Tampa, the most in 100+ years. More than 126 tornado warnings were issued by the National Weather Service - a record for the state of Florida, and the second-highest number of tornado warnings issued in a single day in the U.S.
