Chamber Involvement

Bartow Ford has served and supported Central Florida for over 74 years and one way the dealership shows its loyalty is by being members of the Bartow Chamber, Lakeland Chamber, Winter Haven Chamber, Mulberry Chamber, and the Hispanic Chamber of Polk County.

Members of the management team have held board seats on several of the above chambers, and are graduates of the Bartow Leadership, Winter Haven Leadership, and Polk Leadership.
