The Greater Fort Myers and Sanibel-Captiva Chamber takes an introspective look at what it has achieved with the unification of two chambers of commerce this year at its next business luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. at The Community House, 2173 Periwinkle Way on Sanibel Island.
The State of the Chamber panel will consist of chamber president and chief executive officer John Lai, SanCap Chamber board chair Michael Nachef, immediate past SanCap Chamber chair Katy Forret, Fort Myers board chair Jennifer Whyte, and Rachel Pierce as moderator.
“Our combined chamber has made great strides in 2026, and we are excited to share our robust progress and goals with the members who have supported us in this brave new venture,” said Lai. “What started as a temporary, six-month contract has strengthened into a relationship that has proven successful and energizing for both chambers. Michael, Katy, and Jen will track the benefits of our strategies for consolidation from an insider point-of-view.”
HBKS Wealth Advisors is the chamber’s Annual Luncheon Sponsor. Other sponsors for the November meeting include Avow and Sea Love, a Candle Bar and Boutique.
