Additionally, we welcomed two Board members onto the Executive Committee. These leaders will one day hold the gavel as Chair of the Board of Directors:

Led by the amazing Chair of the Board, Jackie Reeves – Thank you to the entire Board of Directors for their steadfast and unwavering leadership and support of the Boca Chamber!

The Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl is set and the two teams have been announced! The high-powered offense of Western Kentucky University will take on the solid defense of Appalachian State University. Both teams were champions of their conference and bring high energy and a winning attitude to this matchup. The game will be played at Florida Atlantic University Stadium in just 11 days on Saturday, December 18. With a kick-off time of 11:00 a.m., this game will be the first to be played on that Saturday airing on ESPN.

The game will also be carried nationally on ESPN Radio and locally on ESPN 106.3. For additional information on the Rooflclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, visit RoofclaimBocaRatonBowl.com.

To get you fired up for the game and put you in the holiday spirit – join us Thursday morning at the Chamber’s Annual Holiday Breakfast at The Boca Raton. The breakfast is sponsored once again by Rooflcaim.com Boca Raton Bowl and The Boca Raton. The program will feature Doug Mosley, the Executive Director of the Roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, along with representatives from both teams. Doug will be joined by Jim Clark, Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director at Western Kentucky and Lance Ware, Senior Assistant to the Head Coach at Appalachian State.

In addition, the program contains an update from the new CEO of The Boca Raton, Daniel Hostettler, of the amazing transformation of the iconic luxury property. It doesn’t end there! At the conclusion of the breakfast, we will hear from West Boca Community High School’s Encore Ensemble, singing holiday songs to put us in the spirit of the season! This is a must-attend event!
