Everyone is invited to the Navarre area’s largest networking event:

We invite you to be part of our "Honoring Heroes Among Us" by submitting your military photo(s) of you, your staff and/or your family members that have served in the US Military to be part of the slide-show that will be shared before, during and after the Program.

Every May we take time to recognize and show our appreciation to the military in our Community, including Chamber Members, their Employees and/or Family Members that have served and/or are currently serving in the US Military. 

Please submit your military photos ASAP to be included on the slide show presentation to:  Chanda.Ryan@NavarreChamber.com

Welcome Guest Speaker:

The Guest Speaker will be Army Veteran and Army Special Forces Spouse Kate Wood, who recently volunteered as the the Eglin/Hurlburt Network Lead with Hiring Our Heroes Military Spouse Professional Network.

With marketing, communications and project management experience supporting nonprofits, Kate is passionate about connecting people, resources and organizations to solve problems, realize dreams and create opportunities.

As the network lead, Kate’s role is to build relationships with local business leaders in our community, plan monthly professional development and networking events, and serve as the primary liaison between the Eglin/Hurlburt Network and the HOH MSPN Regional Coordinator.  Kate is doing all this with the intent of empowering military spouses and removing barriers to employment within our local community! 

Kate is looking forward to getting to know more about the Navarre community and working with the Navarre Chamber!!
