Topic:

"How to make the most out of business networking events".

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This will be open (I feel sure) to non-members who they hope will become intending members. It will be a good networking opportunity for many of the people on this Forum who are in the Metro Orlando area. Contact their office number in advance to confirm this.

I have attended a few of their events over the years and have met with a number very interesting people there - many of them expat Brits in business in Florida.

The BACC Orlando office has now been back in touch with me and I am hoping that they will be able to provide me with their calendar for the rest of the year. With Susies permission I will then post it on here.

They are a very interesting group - you can lose absolutely nothing by attending (even better joining) and it could benefit your businesses - or even your lifestyle - by rubbing shoulders with some of the people who are in the BACC.

As the name implies it is a group of both British and American business people and professionals.

By the way - how many of you are members of the Central Florida Vacation Rental Management Association which meets at various venues in the Kissimmee area each month ? Now that is another VERY active and enterprising group of Brits and Americans which is fighting (and succeeding) to gain more recognition for the vacation rentals industry.

It pays to network with these people !

Here is the provisional calendar for BAA events for the rest of the year.

My company used to be a member for many years, and sadly when my husband passed i was given little to no offers of help or support during this time, even though my husband used to attend their meetings often. There has bee it seems that there is/has been unrest withing the assn leaders. I may re join at a later date if thing s change but not for now
