Join us for our New Teacher Appreciation & Welcome Event. 250 Educators from Brandon and Seffner Schools are expected to attend.

Our educators are primarily female, second-income earners who are the main decision makers about health care and household purchases. In addition to access to this particular demographic, participating businesses have the opportunity to provide promotional items and school supplies for the attendee bags provided by AdventHealth.

The event is more than an opportunity for local businesses to welcome our educators back to school, it offers businesses an avenue to showcase products and services to this unique group of individuals in a short period of time.

Brandon’s Wonder Women gives an interpretation of The Energy Bus, an international best seller by Jon Gordon. Let us take you on an enlightening and inspiring ride that reveals 10 secrets for approaching life and work with the kind of positive, forward thinking that leads to true accomplishment at work and at home.

The Greater Brandon Chamber of Commerce invites you to the 2024 Candidate Hob Nob Presented by RSA Consulting, LLC. This event is a unique and engaging experience designed to connect our community members directly with the political candidates and voter issues in the upcoming election.

Join us for an evening of insightful discussions, meaningful interactions, and a chance to get to know the individuals who are shaping our future.
