Advocacy
MAF
The Manufacturers Association of Florida (MAF) was organized in early 2006 to advocate on behalf of all manufacturers in Florida. It was formed from the blending of the activities of the Florida Manufacturers Association and the Enterprise Florida Manufacturing Advisory Council. Its purpose is to improve Florida's manufacturing business climate.
EDC Roundtable
The purpose of the EDC roundtable is to provide a forum for business leaders from both the public and private sectors to design and implement specific initiatives, which promote high-wage job retention and expansion in targeted industries for the Capital Region.
