Business leaders get details on Lynn University’s Presidential Debate bid

BOCA RATON — Lynn University is once again bringing the attention of a nation to Boca Raton. The university, sponsor of the Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce’s November Breakfast, told the audience how it secured the position as host of the final Presidential Debate of the 2012 campaign.

“This was an incredibly detailed process, I can assure you,” Dr. Jason Lewis Walton, Chief of Staff of Lynn University, told the crowd of more than 200 business leaders.

After months of steps, inspections, reports and with widespread support from legislators, editorial boards and dignitaries across the state of Florida, Lynn was notified that they were selected to host the October 22, 2012 Presidential Debate, just a few weeks before Election Day.

“Having the eyes of the nation on Boca Raton and the surrounding areas during this crucial time in the election season will bring an economic boost to businesses and residents in our area,” said Troy M. McLellan, president & CEO, Greater Boca Raton Chamber of Commerce. “The Boca Chamber is proud that a strong community partner like Lynn University will be representing Boca Raton to the entire country.”

The next Membership Breakfast will be on Thursday, December 1, 7:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, 501 E. Camino Real. The breakfast is sponsored by Florida Power & Light and features guest speaker James L. Robo, president & Chief Operating Officer, NextEra Energy, Inc. / FPL, plus live holiday music performed by the West Boca Raton Community High School Encore Ensemble.
