Make your voice heard.​

Join the voice of the Lakeland business community and help advocate for progressive and inclusive economic growth! By working together, we can send the message the Lakeland businesses are active, engaged, and passionate about making our community a place where businesses can succeed and thrive. ​​

Our partners at the Florida Chamber Foundation have developed The Florida Scorecard™ to provide state and local stakeholders with the metrics to measure progress toward meeting the goals outlined in the  Florida 2030 Blueprint, a two-year research program that engaged business and community leaders in each of Florida’s 67 counties and identified key trends and the factors that drive their regional economies.

Serve on the Advocacy Committee

The Advocacy Committee promotes policies that support a strong business climate, plans programs and briefings on public policy, updates and interprets the local and legislative agendas, and recommends policy positions to the Chamber's Board of Directors.

BusinessVoice of Greater Lakeland

BusinessVoice, Inc. was created by a group of Chamber members in 2000 to act specifically as a political organization. The Chamber is involved in advocating for issues that affect the business community but does not participate directly in the politics of the election process. The PAC offers members of the Chamber who choose to also join BusinessVoice the opportunity to have a direct influence on State and Local elections. Since membership in BusinessVoice is limited to Lakeland Chamber member companies, the Chamber serves as administrator.
