Programs
We offer business networking opportunities through our AM Connections, Network at Night, and WILLOW Womens Group, as well as educational events conducted by our Marketing & Business Education Committee. In addition, throughout the year, we host a number of Signature events, including our First Responder Valor Awards, and Business Awards. Our Government Affairs Committee hosts advocacy events designed to provide information and foster conversations between members and elected officials.
Join the fastest growing Chamber of Commerce at our weekly Business Networking event, our AM Connection. Each week, the Chamber brings together nearly 100 business leaders from Volusia County including DeBary, Deland, Deltona, Orange City, and Lake Helen, as well as Seminole County for a light breakfast, business to business and business to consumer FREE networking event.
Each meeting is packed with open networking time, member & guest introductions, spotlight speaker and breakfast sponsor.
The AM Connections are held each Tuesday morning at The Center at Deltona, 1640 Dr. Martin Luther King Blvd., Deltona FL.
Guests enjoy continental breakfast and powerful “get-your-day-started” networking. Come prepared with your dynamic 15-20 second elevator speech!
Registration and Networking begins at 7:30 am and wrap up is typically done by 9:00 am. For details about specific dates please refer to our Chamber Calendar of Events page.
Evening Networking, Fun & Food!
Our monthly Network at Night is great fun and a way to really get a chance to mingle and get to know your fellow chamber members.
Monthly Event, Different Venue each month!
The event is held on the first Thursday of each month from 5:00 – 7:00pm. We select a different member location each month to be our main sponsor plus you will find several other vendors with table displays for your pleasure. There’s always great food, entertainment and of course networking. Be sure to check our Chamber Calendar of Events page for details and locations each month. Members and non-members alike are invited to participate.
WILLOW, our Women’s Networking Group, is a vital part of the West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce. Organized by some of the brightest female business leaders in our community, WILLOW is a group that offers networking, education, support, and even a whole lot of fun to the women of Volusia & Seminole Counties (members of the WVRCC as well as non-members).
Quarterly Luncheons/Breakfast
The WILLOW Ladies Luncheon and Breakfast is an event held once a quarter and is a great way to experience the spirit of WILLOW! Our dedicated committee of volunteers works tirelessly to provide an opportunity for women in business to gather over a great meal, share experiences, and gain useful information to help their businesses prosper!

Plus WILLOW-on-the-Town Quarterly Networking!
If you are looking for a way to network and commune in an atmosphere that’s a bit more relaxed, then WILLOW-on-the-Town is a must-do! Also offered quarterly, these events take place in the evening and offer ladies a chance to ‘let their hair down’, so to speak, while upholding the values of WILLOW, including expanding horizons, growing relationships and raising awareness about matters that affect the local community. A WILLOW-on-the-Town gathering allows for sharing and learning from our peers with less formality (and an adult beverage if you so choose!).
Whether you own a business or represent one, WILLOW is meant for you!
There are so few places where such camaraderie can be found like this…just for women. The West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce is proud to sponsor and support WILLOW and to extend an invitation to all ladies to participate in such a unique experience that is WILLOW.
The West Volusia Regional Chamber is committed to supporting member business development by offering no cost educational opportunities on topics of interest to the business community. We are partnering with leading experts in their respected fields, and are working to ensure that our members develop the skills needed to succeed in today’s economy. By investing in our members, we are investing in our workforce and our community to ensure Central Florida continues its goals to be competitive in recruiting businesses that will continue to elevate Volusia County.
The West Volusia Regional Chamber of Commerce, Career Source Flagler/Volusia, and various professionals in their field, are pleased to continue our educational program exclusively for West Volusia Regional Chamber members. Not a member? Contact us for special membership deal!
The Chamber and Economic Development
As the voice of business in West Volusia, your Chamber will continue to provide opportunities to advance conversations on improving the climate for business growth and sustainability, economic development, and stimulate innovation in our community. We do this by working with a variety of stakeholders, including elected officials, participation with the Florida State Chamber of Commerce, and others, to ensure that business friendly, pro-growth strategies are cultivated and adopted at all levels of government.
