Flags on Ponce

Greetings fellow Chamber members! I would like to personally welcome you to this latest edition of the Chamber CONNECTion! Week 40 and a half, as of this writing, of quarantine life.

ERIC GROS-DUBOIS

CHAIR, TRUSTEE DIPLOMATS CEO, FOUNDER | EPGD BUSINESS LAW ERIC@EPGDLAW.COM The Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce Trustee Diplomats are eager to serve you and act as a liaison between the Chamber leadership, its staff, and the largest group of investors in our Chamber. The Chamber Trustee Diplomats would also like to thank our President & CEO, Mark A. Trowbridge, for his amazing leadership throughout this incredible year.

Whenever you get a chance, please consider visiting our new offices on Alhambra Circle - I'm sure you'll be impressed. The Chamber recently celebrated its 95th anniversary, and while we couldn't celebrate together in grand fashion, we were there in spirit!

The entire leadership and staff put a big push for new members in November, and we had the Chamber's best month for new members and Trustees since the quarantine began. It was a team effort, and together with our Chairman, Brian Barakat, stepping up and showing great leadership, we “Came Together” and welcomed Fair Claims Law, Fiduciary Trust International, Invest: Miami/ Capital Analytics, Life Time, MG Developer, Mosacist, Inc., and Verizon. Now, more than ever, is the time to support each other and our community, seven new Trustees!

The Trustee Diplomats are here to answer any questions and act as a bridge for any members who are curious about Trustee level membership. I always tell the story of how Brian asked me to join the Chamber as a Trustee. At the time I could barely afford the investment, but he promised me it would pay off if I committed myself - and he was right!

Feel free to ask me about why I've never thought twice about joining as a Trustee and now as a GEM Level Investor!

Wishing you all the best and business success in 2021!
