About the Community Leadership Conference
What is the Community Leadership Conference? In an impressive vote of confidence for our community, our organizations and our members, the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission (EDC), the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), and the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce have agreed to collaborate on a Community Leadership Conference, scheduled for January 18-20, 2008, at the South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island.
When looking at the economic progress that our region has experienced during the last eighteen months and the potential for even more in the months and years ahead, assembling the Boards of Directors, Volunteer Leadership Teams, Investors, Members and Supporters of our respective organizations has become a clear priority. Additionally, community members, civic organizations and government leaders will be invited to participate. The Community Leadership Retreat has the enthusiastic support of the 2008 Chair of the Metro Orlando EDC, Frederick W. Leonhardt, GrayRobinson, 2008 Chair of the Orlando CVB, Mark McHugh, Gatorland, and the 2008 Chair of the Orlando Regional Chamber, Des Cummings, Jr., Ph.D., Florida Hospital. Who should attend? Everyone. In addition to the Leadership of the Metro Orlando Economic Development Commission (EDC), the Orlando/Orange County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), and the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce, the 2008 Community Leadership Conference represents a cross-section of high-ranking community leaders and active volunteer leaders from across the central Florida Region.
