The Chairs’ Circle is an initiative to recognize member companies making a minimum investment of $40,000 annually in the JAX Chamber. Investments made in membership, JAXUSA Partnership, sponsorships, advertising or to the Chamber Foundation are taken into account en masse to better exemplify a company’s overall stake in the Chamber.
One executive from each company is invited to represent their organization in recognition received as part of this program. Benefits include invitations to private investor events, top-level public policy dialogue, VIP seating at Chamber events and elevated corporate branding as a major stake-holder.
