The Hancock Chamber of Commerce will kick off its first Power Hour Lunch Break of the year on Tuesday, March 25, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bogart’s Bistro inside Hollywood Casino Gulf Coast. The featured speaker, Jamie Miller, President & CEO of the Gulf Coast Business Council, will discuss the recently announced coast-wide entrepreneurship development initiative.

“We were so energized by learning about this new Gulf Coast Business Council initiative at their last meeting,” said Tish Williams, Executive Director of the Hancock Chamber. “We are excited to share this information with our members and look forward to working together to elevate opportunities for entrepreneurs in Hancock County.”

His career includes serving as Chief Operating Officer of the Mississippi Development Authority and as Executive Director of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, where he played a key role in economic and coastal development efforts.
