Members of the Coral Gables business community will meet at the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce Annual Goals Conference, July 28-30, at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Palm Beach to develop an agenda and goals for the 2000-2001 Chamber year.

Goals that will be formulated involve issues such as business and economic development, chamber councils, community affairs, international and Hispanic affairs, organizational development and special events.

While addressing community issues, incoming chair Christopher Zoller of Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell Realtors will introduce his theme, "Strength Through Service," representing the Gables Chamber's service to the community for 75 years.

The more than 150 Goals Conference delegates and their guests will spend a relaxing and memorable weekend at the Ritz Carlton. Activities will include goals setting workshop sessions, general session, networking opportunities, recreation, dining and entertainment.

"We believe this year's Goals Conference will produce a great plan of action for the chamber's upcoming year, as well as be a fun and entertaining experience for all of our participants," Zoller said.

A registration form may be obtained from the Coral Gables Chamber at 50 Aragon Ave., or by calling 305-446-1657. Registration forms should be returned to the chamber as soon as possible. Choice of workshop sessions and hotel rooms are on a first-come, first-served basis.
