MEMBER NEWS
Career Source, UCF to offer “mobile
incubator services” in West Volusia
The UCF Incubator Program and CareerSource Flagler Volusia will partner to begin
a mobile incubator at the CareerSource center in Orange City to target business owners
and aspiring entrepreneurs
in the region. The program
will begin in January and run
for six months and will be
reevaluated to determine the merits of expanding it further. That could at some point
result in the launch of a full-fledged business incubator on the west side.
Ms. Connie Bernal, the program director in
Volusia County, said that six months of ongoing
services in West Volusia should provide insight
into whether the program could be a success.
Last year’s Volusia County-commissioned
study, conducted by consultant Jim Greenwood, found a high degree of interest in West
Volusia for a business incubator.
Robin King, president and CEO of CareerSource Flagler Volusia, said that her group—
the regional workforce development agency for Volusia and Flagler counties—is interested in becoming an “active partner” with the incubator program.

CHANGE
A
s we move into 2015
from the past years,
“The Chamber
Culture” is very
different. In the past, we had a
Welcome Center. We would wait
for people to come in off the street
and receive recommendations for
good food, contracting, etc.
the past decade but that need our
advocacy more than ever—such as
the working agricultural community.
Our Chamber is stronger as a direct
result of our partnerships with
organizations like:
Now, it’s about:
• Being out in the community,
coming to you,
• Branding the businesses
in the community,
• Technology, to get the word
out with what is going on in
the community for outreach,
Michelle “Missy” Chavez, 2015 President
• Job creation and resources for hiring new
employees (Example: Career Source),
• Supporting businesses on government affairs
like business retention surveys, new laws that
can affect our businesses or community (e.g.
SunRail), opportunities to meet the candidates so
we can make sound decisions when voting,
• Helping new and existing businesses grow
with tools they might not be aware we have
access to like Accelerate West Volusia,
• Connecting businesses large and small to work
together so we can all grow; networking.
• Ensuring that we continue to play a role
in helping build a better business culture for
a healthy business community, and
• Providing better outreach to small businesses that
know us, as well as those we’ve lost touch with us in
Team Volusia, The Hispanic
Chamber, MainStreet DeLand,
The Florida Chamber of
Commerce, The Volusia Country
Chamber of Commerce, The CEO
Business Alliance, SBDC, Volusia
Manufacturing Association, our
colleges and universities, all the
cities in West Volusia, and the
Central Florida Partnership.
This year, we are introducing
“Breakfast with the Board.” Every
month, members of our Board of Directors will be asked
to meet at locations throughout West Volusia and business
members in the area will be invited to come out, to share
coffee, to break bread, and to solve problems that affect
business today.
Our goal is to provide value to each and every one of
our members, with new technology and more outreach.
However, it takes all businesses, from large to small, to be
engaged by opening emails, sharing tweets, liking us on
Facebook, coming to events and supporting community
initiatives.
Remember, it takes a village to raise a child, or even better,
it takes ALL sectors of a community for our businesses to
be successful.
