Welcome back! After our summer break, we're thrilled to kick off the Trustee Luncheon series with our first gathering of the fall season. It's time to reconnect, recharge, and set the tone for a great end to the year.

The program will focus on educating voters about the potential impacts of the proposed homestead property tax exemption measure in advance of the November 4 election. The luncheon will serve as the kickoff event for a series of three educational town halls to be held in different regions of the county. While the Greater Miami Chamber will not take an official position on the proposed homestead property tax exemption measure, it will advocate on behalf of the business community regarding its potential tax implications. The overall objective is to provide voters with balanced, factual information to support informed decision-making.

Open to all, this luncheon offers an exceptional opportunity to connect with community leaders, changemakers, and fellow supporters in a meaningful setting. Everyone is welcome to join us for a day that combines purposeful networking with insightful dialogue — the kind of gathering that strengthens both relationships and our collective impact.
