Board staff confirmed that the board’s membership in the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce is active through April 30 at the trustee level, providing benefits such as event invitations and limited marketing. Speaker 5 relayed membership details: access to network channels, the ability to list representatives under the account, and promotional entries in chamber communications.

The board discussed whether to tap Miami Realtors or the Greater Miami Chamber for advocacy support. Speaker 3 and others said they were not convinced the timing or return on investment justified a focused outreach to Miami Realtors now and moved to table that item while focusing on higher‑priority tasks like finalizing the pilot report and potential Tallahassee outreach.

Members also discussed intergovernmental outreach to Hialeah Gardens and the practical value of an intake form to record meeting notes, commitments and next steps. The group agreed to repurpose an intake template (for example, from chamber resources) and trial it with one outreach contact; notes will be passed to staff during the transition to ensure continuity.
