May Chamber Luncheon

Friday, May 8, 2026 (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

Join the Citrus County Chamber of Commerce for our May Chamber Luncheon featuring special guest Ben Marciano, Mayor of Ocala.

From overcoming a childhood marked by instability and addiction to leading a thriving community as Mayor of Ocala, Ben Marciano brings a powerful message of resilience, purpose, and service. A Citrus County native and Lecanto High School graduate, Ben’s journey from personal struggle to transformation is both deeply personal and broadly inspiring. After finding faith and committing to a new path, he built a career dedicated to strengthening others—from revitalizing the local YMCA to co-founding a successful fitness business and actively supporting youth and community initiatives.

Grounded in more than two decades of service, Ben’s story reflects the very heart of our Chamber’s Prosperity Initiative—demonstrating how perseverance, personal responsibility, and a commitment to lifting others can create lasting impact. Join us on May 8 to hear how one individual’s journey can inspire stronger communities and brighter futures.

This is a valuable opportunity for business leaders, community partners, and residents to gain insight into transportation planning and how these projects will shape the future of Citrus County.
