Chairman’s Message<br />

If<br />

I<br />

your summer was like mine, you are likely just<br />

starting to slow down from a very busy season on<br />

the beach. As school starts back<br />

Iand Labor Day approaches, it’s the time<br />

<strong>of</strong> year we all start planning for football<br />

season, cooler temperatures, and<br />

hopefully a break from all this rain.<br />

Additionally for many, it’s the time<br />

<strong>of</strong> year we start looking ahead to<br />

2013. Budgeting, planning, and<br />

staffing all take center stage in our<br />

working world. In our personal lives,<br />

many look to a new year to commit<br />

to changing our lifestyles with<br />

a newfound focus on diet and<br />

exercise.<br />

<strong>This</strong> issue <strong>of</strong><br />

The Circuit is centered on Health &<br />

Wellness<br />

ness. Those <strong>of</strong> you who know me well understand<br />

that running is a daily routine for me, and exercise and<br />

sports s are deeply rooted in my family life. There is<br />

President’s Message<br />

Business is good on the beach! I can’t remember<br />

the last time <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> had a more<br />

prosperous summer than we Bdid in 2012, and our accommodations,<br />

attractions and restaurants can vouch<br />

for that. Visitors and residents alike<br />

enjoyed all our great community has<br />

to <strong>of</strong>fer at its highest potential. As<br />

summer is quickly coming to an end<br />

and everyone is heading back to work<br />

and school, we are preparing for a<br />

very EVENTful fall.<br />

The <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Commerce</strong> and Florida Restaurant<br />

and Lodging Association have<br />

partnered together to bring to you<br />

the <strong>Panama</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> Seafood & Music Festival:<br />

UNwineD 2012. <strong>This</strong> festival will take place the<br />

last weekend in October at Capt. Anderson’s Marina.<br />

We are working diligently to make sure we give our<br />

community a high quality, memorable event. The<br />

<strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong>’s 3rd Annual Golf Classic is also the<br />

last weekend <strong>of</strong> October at Hombre Golf Club. <strong>This</strong><br />

event was a favorite <strong>of</strong> our members last year and is<br />

sure to be again this fall. Coming soon in December<br />

2012 is a half-marathon race, Run for the Redfish, that<br />

the <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> has also decided to host. We look<br />

forward to seeing everyone come out to Pier Park this<br />

winter for a truly inspiring event.<br />

nothing more enjoyable to me that watching my kids<br />

play travel or school sports.<br />

As the summer winds down, I<br />

encourage each <strong>of</strong> you not to wait until<br />

the New Year to “get out and about”<br />

and focus yourselves on health and<br />

fitness. As you flip through the pages<br />

<strong>of</strong> this issue, see where you can find<br />

opportunities to incorporate healthier<br />

choices into your day to day activities.<br />

You’ll notice the <strong>Chamber</strong> is presenting<br />

the<br />

Run for the Redfish on December<br />

1, so please sign up; you have plenty <strong>of</strong><br />

time to start training now.<br />

The <strong>Chamber</strong> calendar is full <strong>of</strong> events<br />

and opportunities to be engaged in our community. As<br />

always, the <strong>Chamber</strong> staff is here to assist you in any<br />

way possible.<br />

Best regards,<br />

In early August, two <strong>of</strong> my staff and myself attended the<br />

ACCE Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. <strong>This</strong> great<br />

experience led us to a better knowledge<br />

in the art <strong>of</strong> negotiation, marketing for<br />

our members and beneficial chamber<br />

information. At this conference I realized<br />

how incredibly proud I am <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Panama</strong><br />

<strong>City</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Chamber</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Commerce</strong><br />

and our accomplishments and growth<br />

through the years. Our members have<br />

truly given us the potential to be able to<br />

positively contribute to our community.<br />

We look forward to another great season<br />

with endless possibilities for the <strong>Beach</strong><br />

<strong>Chamber</strong>.<br />

Happy fall!<br />
