WELCOME Welcome to the 2020 Annual Meeting virtual event!

It is the 100th time that our Chamber community has gathered for this event, and to honor this momentous anniversary and point in our Chamber history, we have an exciting program planned for you. As part of that program, we are honored to hear from guest speaker, Quint Studer, on being a resilient leader in turbulent times.

BEING A RESILIENT LEADER IN TURBULENT TIMES When times are tough, community takes on new importance. Across the country, citizens are drawing together for comfort and camaraderie. Localism is a powerful force. Communities that galvanize this energy and make smart decisions now that will set themselves up to thrive in the future. Revitalization expert, Quint Studer will bring his inspiring message to Sarasota Chamber members. He will explore the pivotal role business owners and leaders play in this process, and will share tactics on keeping resilience and optimism high.

INTRODUCING QUINT STUDER Quint Studer is the Founder of Studer Community Institute, a not-for-profit that focuses on Early Brain Growth, Leadership Skill Building, Civic Engagement, Entrepreneurship, and improving the quality of life.

Quint is also the Founder of Vibrant Community Partners, a company that coaches communities in building out a blueprint for achieving growth and excellence. The firm focuses on education, downtown development, and economic development, including training for small businesses and civic engagement.
