“Dr. Parrish will present a lively and current look at Florida’s economy in this post-election discussion,” said Isabelle Renault, president and CEO of the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce. “He will also be discussing the Florida 2030 Project, a two-year research program that will stimulate strategic thinking about Florida’s future and engage business and community leaders across Florida. His comments are always practical and relevant.”
