The Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce is hosting a roundtable for business owners, managers and town leaders.

Let’s Talk Business will be held at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, June 17 at Christ Church of Longboat Key, 6400 Gulf of Mexico Drive. The event will allow participants to discuss key issues impacting the town and will be a quarterly event.

Town Manager Howard Tipton said he hopes the event can be used as a way to gain insight and feedback from business owners since the small business survey the town distributed earlier this year did not get the traction the town hoped it would.

Those who would like to attend can register at business.longboatkeychamber.com/eventcalendar.
