New series will convene business, civic, and government leaders for candid, nonpartisan, and action-oriented conversations
PENSACOLA, FL— Shumaker Advisors is launching The Connection Point, a new Northwest Florida roundtable series designed to bring business, civic, and government leaders together for candid, nonpartisan, and action-oriented conversations focused on the region's opportunities and challenges.
Through facilitated discussions, the series will strengthen relationships across sectors, identify practical opportunities for collaboration, clarify next steps, and connect the right people to action. Each roundtable will create space for thoughtful dialogue and a balanced exchange of perspectives.
The inaugural roundtable will be held in partnership with the Greater Pensacola Chamber of Commerce and its President and CEO, Todd Thomson. Commissioner Mike Kohler and Walter Pierce will lead a discussion examining Amendment 3 from multiple perspectives, giving attendees an opportunity to better understand the issue and its potential implications.
"Northwest Florida's continued success depends on leaders from across the region having a trusted space to exchange ideas, better understand complex issues, and identify opportunities to work together," said Sara Lefevers, Vice President at Shumaker Advisors. "The Connection Point is designed to turn candid conversation into stronger relationships and meaningful action for our communities."
