hot spots: Chamber Letter

As one of the largest and most influential Chambers in South Florida, the Boca Chamber is always moving forward to support our mission to: Promote and Sustain Economic Prosperity in Boca Raton and South Palm Beach County. We strongly embrace our role as the organization that provides businesses with the best environment in which to succeed and grow. As we always say, a strong Chamber means a strong business community!

Boca Raton is host to many premier events that include the Allianz Golf Tournament, Festival of the Arts, Boca Bacchanal and the Boca Raton Bowl. These events enrich our area, elevate our national recognition, and provide positive economic impact on our business community. In addition to giving a boost to our economy, these are landmark occasions to showcase Boca Raton.

Bloomberg Businessweek reports that Boca Raton is No. 2 in the nation’s top 10 places to start a new company. Entrepreneurs agree, as Boca Raton cultivated more than 2,200 new businesses within the past year. Boca is also a great place to relocate your business because it offers the perfect conditions; a pro-business environment, low tax rates, a great quality of life, A-rated public schools and premier private schools. In addition, Boca Raton is home to two universities and a state college, earning the title of “college town.”

Preserving Boca Raton’s profile as a premier location for business creation, expansion and relocation, as well as tourism, is a collaborative effort between the Boca Chamber, the city of Boca Raton and key stakeholder organizations such as the county-wide economic development and tourism agencies. Together, we work to maintain a strong business climate.

Moving forward,

Troy M. McLellan, CCE, FCCP

President & CEO

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
