RPOF Hosts Third Annual Business Leaders Fly-In

Tallahassee–The Republican Party of Florida today hosted the RPOF’s Third Annual Business Leaders’ Fly-In and Forum, providing an opportunity for business leaders from across Florida to gather in Tallahassee and meet with lawmakers for a dialogue on issues important to Florida’s business community. The event kicked off with a welcome from Chairman Greer, remarks from Lieutenant Governor Kottkamp, and a keynote address by Governor Crist. The Florida Chamber of Commerce presented a Florida Economic and Business Forum and the group received a political briefing at the RPOF Headquarters, followed by a meet-and-greet with Cabinet officials.

“Florida’s business leaders and entrepreneurs are the backbone of our state’s economy and strong supporters of the Republican Party of Florida,” noted RPOF Chairman Jim Greer. “We are grateful not only for their support of our elected officials, but also for their efforts to kick-start our economy. This is a great opportunity to thank Florida’s business leaders and to introduce them to Republican leadership in state government and the Florida Cabinet.”

“For the third year in a row, we have more than doubled the number of participants for this year’s fly-in, confirming that Republicans’ support of entrepreneurs and efforts to promote a healthy business climate continue to resonate in Florida’s business community,” continued Greer. “We look forward to continued collaboration between Republicans in the business and political communities.”
