Protecting Business, Fueling Success
For nearly 75 years, the Boca Chamber has proudly led the charge in driving economic growth across South Palm Beach County. Our region is rich with assets—a vibrant business culture, a thriving entrepreneurial spirit, top-tier schools, premier healthcare, and stunning natural resources. These elements combine to create a prosperous community.
At the heart of this success is our business community. The Chamber is committed to supporting our member businesses year-round—by building valuable connections, providing necessary business resources, professional development, and championing quality-of-life initiatives. Our focus is clear: to ensure your business thrives.
And to do that, we never lose sight of one critical objective: Protecting Business.
Through innovative, forward-thinking strategies, we create an environment where businesses of all sizes can succeed. Whether it’s through our Government Affairs and Economic Development Committees or the Business Leaders United Political Action Committee (BLU-PAC), we advocate for policies that create a strong foundation for commerce. One powerful example of our advocacy in action is the 2025 Legislative Agenda, which brought key wins in housing, tax reform, and workforce development—despite political gridlock on other priorities. See how the Chamber led the charge in shaping policy and Protecting Business on page 15.
"Through
innovative, forwardthinking strategies, we create an environment where businesses of all sizes can succeed."
Our commitment to Protecting Business also extends to the non-profit sector through our long-standing initiative, Boca Chamber Festival Days (BCFD). Now in its 48th year, BCFD pairs for-profit and non-profit members to raise awareness and support for charitable causes. With a month full of events on the calendar, there are countless ways to get involved, give back, and celebrate community. Turn to page 10 for more details.
Another key part of our mission to Protect Business is investing in our future workforce. For more than 30 years, the Chamber’s own Golden Bell Education Foundation has supported public education in Boca Raton, awarding nearly $2 million in grants to benefit thousands of students. From career-focused programming to hands-on experiences, Golden Bell helps students explore, prepare, and plan for success. One standout initiative is the Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!), a nine-month program that empowers middle and high school students to launch real businesses with guidance from local professionals. This year, a new program was developed for the students—The Chamber Youth Committee (CYC), which will engage its teen members with in-depth mentorship, to help them further succeed personally and professionally. Read more about these programs on page 6.
The feature for this edition's cover story is “Florida’s Law Firm for Business,” Gunster. Their organization has been a trusted legal and strategic advisor to companies across South Palm Beach County—helping Protect Business, foster economic growth, and champion community partnerships for over a century. Learn how Gunster continues to shape Florida’s business future in our featured article on pages 12-13.
At the Boca Chamber, we believe a strong business community builds a stronger region and drives local economies. Together, we continue to Protect Business —making South Palm Beach County the best place to Live, Work, Learn, and Play.
Moving Business Forward,

HONORING OUR HEROES: FIRST RESPONDERS CELEBRATION EXPANDS TO INCLUDE COUNTY
This year’s Boynton Beach First Responders Appreciation Event marked a powerful new chapter in the Chamber’s ongoing commitment to recognizing those who protect and serve our community. What began as a city-focused tribute has now grown into a broader celebration, expanding to include Palm Beach County firefighters, EMTs, and sheriff’s deputies. The expansion reflects both the Chamber’s gratitude and the community’s recognition of the critical role these men and women play—not only in emergencies but in keeping the local economy strong. When first responders show up, businesses can stay open, residents feel safe, and visitors return. Their work is not just lifesaving—it’s foundational to economic vitality.
Held in May, the event brought together city and county leaders, business owners, and members of the
public to express their appreciation. Chamber leaders emphasized the importance of uniting city and county forces under one celebration, especially as so many of our local businesses and residents rely on both for emergency response.
“These professionals are the backbone of a safe and thriving community,” said Troy McLellan, President and CEO of the Boca/Boynton Chamber. “We’re proud to honor them not only for their heroism but for the peace of mind they provide, which allows commerce to grow and our cities to flourish.”
By expanding the reach of the event, the Chamber hopes to build stronger bridges between the business community and first responders countywide—recognizing that safety, service, and success go hand-in-hand.

CELEBRATING 48 YEARS
UNITING BUSINESSES WITH NON-PROFITS FOR A BETTER BOCA!
Every August, Boca Raton and South Palm Beach County come alive with purpose and celebration during Boca Chamber Festival Days (BCFD)—a dynamic, month-long series of events that spotlight the region’s philanthropic spirit. Now in its 48th year, BCFD is a signature initiative of the Boca Chamber, bringing together the non-profit and for-profit sectors in a powerful partnership that benefits the entire community.
At the heart of BCFD is a simple yet impactful mission: to raise awareness and funds for local non-profit Chamber Members. Through a wide variety of creative and entertaining events—ranging from intimate art shows and tasting tours to energetic concerts and competitions—non-profits collaborate with for-profit businesses to host experiences that captivate and inspire.
BCFD is more than just a calendar of events; it’s a celebration of community connection and collective impact. Local residents are encouraged to move from event to event throughout August, discovering new causes, forming meaningful connections, and
supporting the charitable organizations that help shape the region’s vibrant character. This annual tradition has grown into a highly anticipated highlight of the summer, drawing media attention, strong social media engagement, and the support of civic leaders and local influencers. For non-profits, BCFD offers unmatched visibility and a chance to build lasting relationships within the community. For attendees, it’s a chance to give back—while having a great time doing it.
As BCFD enters its 48th year, its legacy of fostering collaboration and generosity continues to strengthen, proving once again that when a community comes together, everyone benefits.
BCFD’s first event will happen on August 1st at American Social, with Spirit of Giving’s “The KickOff” which will highlight not only the kick-off of BCFD, but also football season, and the Boca Raton Bowl!
We will also feature a special after-hours event hosted at the The Boca Raton’s Beach Club on August 8th to benefit The Chamber’s Golden Bell Education Foundation, in partnership with our Business Professionals Under 40 group.
Events will occur all month long and we look forward to seeing you in August! Generously sponsored by:

BUILDING BUSINESS SUCCESS FOR A CENTURY
We sat down with Gunster's Chairman of the Board, George S. LeMieux, to discuss the meaning of protecting business, the pride of being "Florida's Law Firm", as well as the growth and humbling experience of celebrating their 100th Anniversary.
Q. Gunster prides itself on being "Florida’s Law Firm for Business." How does this mission translate into your work in South Palm Beach County?
At Gunster, our mission as “Florida’s Law Firm for Business” is more than a slogan—it’s a commitment to the people and businesses that make Boca Raton and our whole state thrive. Palm Beach County is a dynamic hub for established companies and new ventures alike, and we see our role as both counselor and partner. We bring together deep Florida roots, statewide resources, and a personal investment in our clients’ success. Whether we’re advising on a complex transaction, helping a business navigate regulatory hurdles, or brainstorming growth strategies, our focus is always on helping local businesses seize opportunities and overcome challenges. We’re not just legal advisors—we’re neighbors, mentors, and champions for the community’s long-term prosperity.
Q. Gunster often emphasizes its role in protecting Florida businesses. What does “protecting business” mean to you in today’s legal and economic environment? Protecting business today goes far beyond traditional legal defense. It means proactively identifying risks, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations, and providing counsel that anticipates future challenges. In the current legal and economic climate, businesses face a rapidly changing landscape—whether it’s new
employment laws, data privacy concerns, or economic volatility. At Gunster, protecting business means being a forward-thinking advisor: helping clients safeguard their assets, reputation, and operations, while also positioning them to capitalize on new opportunities.
Q. How does Gunster’s work in areas like employment law, litigation, and regulatory compliance contribute to creating a more secure business climate locally?
Our litigation team is experienced in resolving disputes efficiently—whether through negotiation, arbitration, or trial—so businesses can stay focused on what they do best. But most of all, we serve as counselors to advise our clients on issues to avoid litigation. We provide counsel on issues like civil rights compliance, immigration, and non-compete regulations, ensuring our clients operate within the law and avoid reputational harm. By providing this level of support, we not only protect individual businesses but also help create a climate where investment and innovation can flourish.
Q. Gunster is celebrating a major anniversary this year. What does this milestone mean for the firm, and how has its role in Florida’s legal and business landscape evolved over the years?
Celebrating our 100th anniversary is a humbling reminder of the trust our clients and communities
have placed in us for generations. Gunster has grown from a local, Palm Beach County firm, to a statewide leader, adapting alongside Florida’s remarkable growth. Our longevity is a testament to our ability to anticipate change, invest in our people, and build lasting relationships. Over the years, we’ve expanded our role from traditional legal services to serving as strategic advisors in areas like private wealth, real estate, and complex litigation. We have helped shape Florida’s business climate, guided clients through both booms and busts, and remained steadfast in our mission to serve as Florida’s law firm for leaders. This milestone is both a celebration of our past and a springboard for continued innovation and impact in this state that we love.
Q. As Chairman of Gunster, what key trends are you seeing in the local and state economy that impact businesses?
Florida is experiencing dynamic change, marked by significant population growth and an influx of national and international businesses, which is driving demand for sophisticated legal services. Technology, data privacy, and cybersecurity are at the forefront as businesses adapt to digital transformation. As I noted in a letter for The Florida Council of 100, which I have the privilege of chairing for the next two years, Florida’s expanding role in the space industry—highlighted by the proposal to move NASA’s headquarters here—underscores the state’s growing importance in technology and innovation. At the same time, regulatory complexity is increasing, particularly in healthcare, trade, and financial services. These trends present both challenges and opportunities, and at Gunster, we are dedicated to helping our clients navigate them successfully.
Q. In what ways does Gunster contribute to fostering economic growth in South Palm Beach County?
We see ourselves as partners in the region’s economic vitality. Gunster supports businesses at every stage— from startups to established enterprises—by advising on mergers and acquisitions, real estate transactions, and financing. The attorneys in our Boca Raton office are deeply involved in local civic and economic organizations, working to attract investment and advocate for policies that promote a healthy business climate. We also provide guidance on regulatory compliance and risk management, enabling businesses to operate with confidence and stability. By serving as trusted advisors and community partners, we help lay the groundwork for sustained economic prosperity in Boca Raton and beyond.
"At Gunster, protecting business means being a forward-thinking advisor: helping clients safeguard their assets, reputation, and operations, while also positioning them to capitalize on new opportunities."
Q. Gunster has a strong presence in community engagement. How does the firm support economic development initiatives, business advocacy, or local partnerships?
Community engagement is at the heart of Gunster’s culture. Our attorneys and staff are active participants and leaders in local Chambers of Commerce, Economic Development Councils, and nonprofit organizations. We support economic development initiatives by providing pro bono legal services, sponsoring community events, and serving in leadership roles on boards and committees. Our involvement in business advocacy ensures that the interests of the local business community are represented in policy discussions at every level. Through these partnerships, we help drive initiatives that create jobs, attract investment, and enhance the quality of life in Florida
Q. Gunster has been an engaged member of the Boca Chamber for many years. How has this relationship helped the firm connect with and support the local business community to broaden the firms reach?
Our longstanding relationship with the Boca Chamber has been invaluable. Through the Chamber, we’ve built strong relationships with business leaders, entrepreneurs, and civic organizations. This engagement keeps us attuned to the needs and priorities of the community, allows us to offer timely legal insights, and gives us opportunities to collaborate on initiatives that support economic growth. The Chamber provides a platform for networking, education, and advocacy, and our active participation has helped us broaden our reach, deepen our impact, and reinforce our commitment to serving as a trusted partner to businesses in South Palm Beach County
Q. How does Gunster plan to continue its impact on Florida’s economic development in the next decade? Or century!
Looking ahead, we’re committed to building on our legacy to innovate and lead in Florida’s legal and business communities. From a modest two-lawyer office in West Palm Beach 100 years ago, to now more than 320 attorneys and professionals, and over 600 team members working from 13 offices statewide, we are committed to Florida and its success. Our vision includes investing in cutting-edge technology, expanding our presence in key markets, and developing new practice areas to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We are focused on recruiting and developing top talent, fostering a culture of excellence and collaboration, and deepening our engagement with community and economic development initiatives. By staying true to our core values and culture, we aim to remain Florida’s law firm for leaders—helping shape the state’s economic future for decades, and even centuries, to come.
Ribbon Cuttings
The Chamber has been buzzing with excitement as we celebrated a wave of grand openings and milestone anniversaries! From Boca to Boynton and beyond, Ribbon Cutting ceremonies have been on the rise—a clear sign that our local economy is growing strong and that businesses are choosing South Palm Beach County to launch and expand.
Thank you to all who came out to support these moments—your energy and presence helped create vibrant, connection-filled celebrations that made each event special. It’s been inspiring to watch new businesses take root and existing ones continue to flourish.
Keep an eye on our events calendar at www.bocachamber.com/events—we’d love for you to join us this summer and beyond as we continue to champion our business community and welcome even more companies to our Chamber family.

FLORIDA'S 2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION: THE CHAMBER’S ADVOCACY IN ACTION
The 2025 Florida legislative session was a whirlwind of policy debates, budget negotiations, and pivotal decisions impacting the state's business landscape. Amidst this flurry, the Boca Raton/Boynton Beach Chamber stood as a steadfast advocate, ensuring that the voice of the business community resonated in every corridor of power.
LEGISLATIVE HIGHLIGHTS:
The Legislature concluded the extended 2025 Legislative Session with the total elimination of the Business Rent Tax. The Boca Chamber has championed efforts to end this “Florida-Only” tax on local businesses for nearly a decade!
After 105 days, the 2025 Legislative Session ended “sine die.” Originally scheduled to end May 2, the Legislature extended the 2025 Legislative Session to continue work on the state’s FY 2025-2026 budget.
Florida’s 2025 Legislative Session by the Numbers:
• 1,959 Bills and PCBs filed; over 265 bills passed both chambers
• $115.1 budget passed with a $1.3 billion tax reduction package - featuring a $1.3 billion tax cut package that notably eliminates the Business Rent Tax and delivers sales tax holidays for essentials
The session also funded disaster resilience, allocating $280 million to the My Safe Florida Home program—up from $200 million last year—helping homeowners harden properties and potentially reduce insurance costs.
Small business interests scored a win through initiatives to reduce the tangible personal property tax. A big focus was also put on defending tort reform protections.
Regulatory reform remained front and center with bills to streamline community redevelopment and professional licensure.
All-in-all, the 2025 session advanced pro-business efforts by shoring up tax relief, regulatory efficiency, and business resilience—with a watchful eye on budget discipline and hurricane preparedness.
THE CHAMBER: CRAFTING AND CHAMPIONING THE BUSINESS AGENDA
At the heart of these legislative developments was the proactive engagement of The Chamber. Each year, The Chamber collaborates with its members to craft a comprehensive Legislative Business Agenda, reflecting the collective priorities of the local business community.
Key components of the 2025 agenda included:
• Promoting Affordable Housing: Advocating policies that support the development of housing accessible to the workforce.
• Reducing Regulatory Red Tape: Pushing for streamlined processes to facilitate business operations and growth.
• Enhancing Workforce Development: Supporting educational initiatives and training programs to equip the workforce with necessary skills.
Once the agenda is set, The Chamber's team works tirelessly, engaging with elected officials at the city, county, and state levels to ensure these priorities are front and center in policy discussions.
VIGILANCE AND ADVOCACY: THE CHAMBER AS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY'S WATCHDOG
Beyond agenda-setting, The Chamber serves as a vigilant watchdog, monitoring legislative activities and advocating against policies that could hinder business success. Whether it's attending committee meetings, providing testimony, or mobilizing member action, The Chamber ensures that the interests of the business community are represented and protected.
These efforts are not just reactive but proactive, fostering relationships with policymakers and staying ahead of legislative trends to anticipate challenges and opportunities for businesses.
LOOKING AHEAD: BUILDING ON MOMENTUM
The Chamber remains committed to fostering a thriving business environment. By continuing to engage with members, monitor policy developments, and advocate for favorable business conditions, The Chamber ensures that South Palm Beach County remains the best place to Live, Work, Learn and Play.
