Chamber Team
Letter From The President & CEO
On behalf of The Florida Gateway Chamber, thank you for being an essential part of our Chamber community. Your support, involvement, and investment continue to help strengthen local businesses and drive economic growth throughout Lake City, Columbia County, and the greater Florida Gateway region.
As we enter an exciting new chapter with our transition from the Lake City - Columbia County Chamber of Commerce to The Florida Gateway Chamber, one thing remains unchanged: our mission. While our name and brand now better reflect the regional connectivity, opportunity, and momentum of North Florida, our commitment to supporting businesses, fostering community relationships, and championing economic development remains stronger than ever.
For more than a century, our Chamber has served as a trusted advocate and resource for businesses of all sizes. Today, we continue that legacy by providing meaningful networking opportunities, business education, leadership development, marketing exposure, workforce initiatives, and advocacy efforts designed to help businesses grow and succeed in an evolving economy.
Your membership plays a direct role in strengthening the local economy and building a thriving business community. The more you engage — whether through Chamber events, sponsorships, committees, leadership programs, or promotional opportunities — the more value and visibility you gain while helping move our community forward.
As The Florida Gateway Chamber, we are focused on honoring our history while embracing the future. Together, we will continue creating opportunities, supporting local business success, and positioning Columbia County and the Florida Gateway region for long-term economic prosperity.
Thank you again for your continued partnership and trust in our organization. We are grateful to serve alongside you and look forward to all we will accomplish together.
With appreciation,
-Joey
