EACC Florida Task Forces are open to active professionals who understand the benefit of sharing best practices across industries, ensuring that there is no silo thinking. Task Forces meet on a regular basis to address strategic issues, share findings and best practices and make mutual recommendations for improvement. Meetings are small with little or no tech and Chatham House rules or any other confidentiality rule might be used to allow for open exchange.

If you wish to establish a Task Force in your area of expertise or if you are interested in joining an existing one, please contact [email protected] for details. Priority and preferential rates are given to EACC Florida Members.

With the second-largest foreign trade zone network in the U.S., Florida is home to 11,500+ logistics and distribution establishments. The broader wholesale trade, transportation, and logistics industry accounts for over 67,000+ establishments and employs more than half a million individuals across the state. Evolving geopolitics, recurring supply chain disruptions, the “greening” of the industry and increasing regulatory requirements are impacting global trade and it is expected that trade will become less global and more regionalized with a renewed focus on the Transatlantic Corridor – North America, Latin America and Europe.

While there are a number of entities and professional groups – federal, State and local – that serve these industries and their professionals to advance their interests, few if any have a transatlantic focus or specifically serve European companies and professionals from these industries present in Florida. And whereas specific know-how and expertise represent a competitive advantage for any company, the issues confronted by the sector are the same for all.

EACC Florida’s Task Force is loosely inspired from a similar initiative run by EACC Auvergne-Rhone-Alps: https://eacc-ra.com/task-forces/.
