This chapter of the HBCA of Brevard is a breakfast networking meeting with informative speakers and industry news. Meetings are the second Wednesday of each month. This meeting hosts informative speakers from various local governmental agencies and educational forums presented by providers and manufacturers of all the latest products and services available to the building industry.

Due to the length and size of Brevard County,  a dynamic group of members decided to find a closer location for a meeting so members in the north part of the county wouldn’t have to always drive to the south part of the county for meetings. Brevard Chapter meetings are held at Kay’s BBQ, 1552 King St. in Cocoa about three miles east of SR 520 off I-95.
