NextUp JAX young professionals are pleased to invite you to the JAX Chamber's Downtown office on May 21 for an engaging conversation with the Chamber’s Public Policy Team to better understand the legislative priorities shaping Northeast Florida’s business environment.

This discussion will offer insight into how the Chamber advocates on behalf of thousands of businesses across the region, the key issues influencing decision-makers at the local and state levels, and how those priorities connect to the growth and development taking place in Downtown Jacksonville and throughout Duval County.

Participants will gain a clearer understanding of how public policy impacts young professionals, employers, and the broader economy, and why staying informed and engaged in these conversations matters.

Daniel Davis, President and CEO at the JAX Chamber
