Paul Renner to lay out ‘path to prosperity’ at 2024 Chamber summit
Economic empowerment has been a cornerstone of Renner’s leadership.
House Speaker Paul Renner is among a slate of candidates scheduled to speak at the Florida Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Prosperity and Economic Opportunity Solution Summit.
Renner will deliver a talk providing the state perspective on legislation and policy that supports families on their paths to prosperity.
“Legislation and policy play a significant role in eliminating barriers to opportunity for children and families throughout Florida,” a description of his session explains, noting that he will discuss “his Opportunity Agenda and the groundbreaking outcomes it has led to over his speakership.”
Renner first gaveled in during an organization session in late 2022, laying out a bold agenda promoting economic strength “full of prosperity, abundant with opportunity and rich in quality of life,” Renner said at the time.
The Summit will be held May 23 in Coral Springs beginning at 9 a.m. and running through 4 p.m. Renner is scheduled to speak during the first session, before a scheduled coffee break.
The summit begins with a session on the business case for prosperity, with Florida Chamber Foundation President Mark Wilson.

In the third session is a panel discussion on how local leaders in Broward County are making an impact, moderated by Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance Executive Vice President Ron Drew with leaders from the local community.
