Dear Nonprofit Council Members,

The Melbourne Regional Chamber is ringing in 2024 outstanding leadership for the Nonprofit Council: Akili Phillips with Family Promise of Brevard and Emma Reynolds with United Way of Brevard. Akili and Emma are excited to work alongside our amazing nonprofit members and have some great things in store for the year, including quarterly meetings with themes, break-out groups, and expert panels.

“We really wanted to make the meetings interactive, while also ensuring that attendees left with valuable information that they could take back to their organizations and put into action,” said Phillips. She added, “We want to thank Casey Gilbert and Anne Conroy-Baiter for their leadership and we are just thrilled to provide a forum for Brevard nonprofits to come together, learn from each other, connect, and build community.”
