Military Affairs

For over 50 years, Accelerate Brevard, formerly the Cocoa Beach Regional Chamber of Commerce, has been a trusted resource, providing vital support and services to the military personnel stationed in our Space Coast community. Initially organized through a Military Committee, these efforts grew into the Military Affairs Council (MAC) in 1991. Today, the MAC, a council of Ascend Brevard, Inc., the 501(C)3 Foundation of Accelerate Brevard, remains a steadfast advocate for military members and their families.

The MAC is a dedicated, all-volunteer group composed of members—both civilian and military—who are committed to enhancing the quality of life in our community. Their focus is on supporting and uplifting the enlisted service members stationed throughout the Space Coast.

2025 MAC Chair: Ryan Trandell, Alliance Cyber

Chamber Staff Liaison: Cory Skeates, Vice President of Community Development
