Hosted by the state’s leading business associations, the focus of the 2023 Florida Business Forum is “Making the Business Community’s Case for Tort Reform.” Industry representatives, lawmakers and others will take part in panels that will discuss key reforms in the civil justice system.For years, Florida has been identified as an outlier on civil justice. Often referred to as a “judicial hellhole,” the status of the state’s tort climate is a significant challenge to Florida’s businesses.As we begin to focus on the 2023 Session, it is important to have a serious conversation about what the Legislature can do to move Florida from “hellhole” status to having a climate that supports the employers and economic drivers upon which the state depends.
Why I joined the Chamber
“The Chamber is all about being given the opportunity to form relationships through networking. In Leads Groups, you spend quality time with other businesses, and often gain “Access” (another Chamber group focusing on younger members) to their connections as well. In Leadership Tallahassee, you gain a new family of business leaders, and are guaranteed exposure to something or some group you were not familiar with, while broadening your understanding of all things “Tallahassee”. With LT’s Building Better Boards, you get to spend an evening with a great, philanthropic/altruistic group who are learning to serve their nonprofits more effectively. With the Chamber Conference, you get to spend quality time off-site and in a more casual setting while learning more about our community. Is the Chamber helpful for your business? Absolutely – especially if you join, engage, and take advantage of the great programs they offer!”
