Luncheon features Commissioner and Senator

Comm. Suarez

Miami-Dade Commissioner Xavier Suarez and Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla are featured speakers at the next Coconut Grove Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Friday, May 6.

Suarez is the District 7 commissioner, which covers Coconut Grove and Diaz de La Portilla represents District 40. 

This event is a combined chamber event at the Sonesta Coconut Grove along with the Key Biscayne Chamber and Miami Brickell Chamber of Commerce. Both speakers will update attendees on the latest developments affecting their districts and constituents from both a county and Tallahassee perspective.

A special display will be set up and representatives of Miami-Dade County's Small Business Development Department will be on hand to introduce, educate and recruit small business owners for participation in County "Goods and Services, Architectural and Engineering and Construction Contracts". This is a wonderful opportunity to learn small business owners can compete for these county contracts whether you sell printing services, office supplies, furniture, etc. 

Sen. Diaz De La Portilla

If you are an architect or an engineer you will want to meet these representatives and possibly grow your business. Construction and tradespeople should stop by and learn how to qualify for County business.

Everyone should pre-register at coconutgrovechamber.com. Go to the Events page for May 6 and register on-line. This will be a very well attended event and on-site registration may cause long lines at the registration table outside the dining room. Your time will be better spent networking with our honored speakers, and other business professionals.

Prices: Members of any of the three Chambers $45.00. Non-Members $60.00

There will be valet parking at the hotel, and there is an inexpensive underground garage a few doors down from the hotel (at the traffic light).

The luncheon is from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, The Sonest is located at 2889 McFarlane Road.
