BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA – The Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce will host a Mayoral Forum to learn about the three candidates running for that office. The forum will be held Wednesday, Oct. 3 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Senior Center on Culver Avenue in Palm Bay.
The forum will include candidates William Capote, Will Conyers and current mayor John Mazziotti. Capote is currently a Palm Bay city councilman and Conyers is a former mayor of Sebastian.
“This Forum will involve business-related questions addressing issues that surface within the business community from time to time such as code enforcement, permitting and regulations,” said Victoria Northrup, president and CEO of the Greater Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Jeff MonteLeon, a local chiropractor and board member on the Palm Bay Chamber of Commerce, will facilitate the forum. He was selected based on his length of time as a Palm Bay business owner, as well as his years on the chamber board of directors.
The chamber board of directors will submit potential questions for the candidates to address. In addition, business owners who attend may submit their own questions that evening for review and several may be selected if time permits.
