Positively Osceola asked a number of positive leaders in the community to share their hope and their plans for the new year, and how we can encourage and support each other in 2022.  We asked Don Long, President/CEO Lake Nona Regional Chamber of Commerce, Master Gunnery Sergeant USMC, (Ret), to share his hope and outlook for 2022.

Looking back at 2021 this chamber is laser-focused on continuing our 2022 support of our entire regional community. From lessons learned like how to better collaborate with government agencies and other organizations, we hope to continue our efforts in the areas of collaboration and teamwork.

At the same time, we will continue to emphasize our focus on creatively approaching events and projects. We will always seek something new and different that will bring excitement and benefits to our members while also providing services to the community.

During 2021 with the assistance of our local governments and our medical partners we provided PPE, financial and COVID information assistance for everyone and we will continue to develop these relationships. In 2022 depend on us to do our best to be leaders of the community.
