The Central Hillsborough County Chamber of Commerce Military Affairs Council is dedicated to serving and supporting our military (past, present and families) in the Central Hillsborough County community through advocating and educating the CHCC members and the community on how they can assist and participate in enriching the lives of our military community. The Military Affairs Council advocates for the welfare and rights of military veterans, including access to healthcare, education, employment, and other essential services. The Council will work closely with veterans' organizations and government agencies to address the needs of former service members. The Military Affairs Council will also facilitate communication and collaboration between the military, government, and civilian sectors to promote understanding, support, and cooperation on military-related issues. This may involve organizing public forums, outreach events, and educational programs.
