LETTER FROM
THE CHAIR
Despite social distancing, stay in place
orders, masks, event cancelations,
hours of 100+ mph sustained winds,
30 inches of rainfall, 6-foot storm
surge and massive flooding, immense
damage & clean-up, this past year the Perdido Key Area
Chamber, member businesses and people who live,
work, and play here have prevailed through it all.
Perdido Key Area Chamber of Commerce staff and
volunteers quickly developed and implemented creative
initiatives hosting hundreds of virtual seminars & networking
events, executed an email campaign about COVID relief loans &
grants available, advocated for business reopening, introduced the
business Bounce Back Campaign, disseminated hurricane preparation
and post recovery critical information, advocated for disaster area
declaration, accommodated SBA & FEMA recovery programs, all
to inform, support, promote,
help recover and champion the
chamber’s member businesses
and the business community
in the Perdido Key area.
Our community stewardship
continued adhering to CDC
guidelines with several drive-in
movies, first ever Trunk or Treat
and Community Craft Fair, and created a “Preserve our Beach”
campaign and honored our First Responders at our annual meeting.
We have begun the comeback to be bigger, better, and bolder!
It is an honor to welcome you back to our hidden gem. When
you stay, dine and shop in the Perdido Key Area, you are
supporting the amazing people who live, work, and play here!
Thank you for making Perdido Key Area your choice!
WE HAVE BEGUN THE
COMEBACK TO BE BIGGER,
BETTER, AND BOLDER!
IT IS AN HONOR TO
WELCOME YOU BACK
TO OUR HIDDEN GEM.
