Nothing does the video real justice. Wish you could have been here to see it? Don't worry, Contractors, Closers, & Connections of Orlando has events lined up for the rest of 2025! We kicked off the year with a great event hosted in February at the Citrus Club. Our team was pleased to announce that the proceeds from that event benefited Black Architects In The Making - Orlando. At the event, some of the feedback was on how many new faces were seen. If you are looking to join an organization in the AEC space, we invite you to join a different kind of networking. -Our Mission- The mission of CCC-Orlando is to connect the professionals of the commercial real estate and construction industry while serving as a vehicle to support the Orlando community.

We are excited to announce the details of Contractors, Closers, & Connections of Orlando’s April event! Join us on April 16th at Junior Achievement of Central Florida. Changing the Lives of Young People Junior Achievement’s mission is to inspire and prepare young people to succeed. The inspiration piece comes from community volunteers who not only deliver our lessons but share their experiences. In the process, these volunteers serve as role models helping to positively impact young people’s perceptions about the importance of education, as well as critical life skills. Preparation involves our proven lessons that promote financial capability, work and career readiness, and business ownership. Research has also shown that JA Alumni are more likely to have a college degree, feel confident managing money, have career success, and have started a business as an adult.
