Military Affairs Council
Objectives:
The Military Affairs Council (MAC) provides a vital link between the business and military community through activities that complement and support the vast military presence in our area. MAC members help to maintain a dialog between the military and area business, as well as host a variety of events to maintain morale. These include the annual Enlisted Personnel Picnic at Patrick Air Force Base and annual Community Service Awards luncheon, honoring those who not only serve our country, but also volunteer their valuable free time to help community organizations. Membership is open to any Partner that wishes to have a relationship with the military and its ancillary services.
Mission Statement:
To provide opportunities for our business community to learn more about the military units serving on the Space Coast, and to interface with resident military personnel and their families so they will feel welcome and appreciated.
Annual Fee:
Only $50.00 per individual **(you must be a Chamber Partner to join MAC)
Regular Military Affairs Council (MAC) membership meetings are held the third Wednesday of each month, at 5:30 p.m. at various military and business locations.
