Greetings GlobalJax Members and Friends! We have intern power once again so our weekly update is back. We hope you find it helpful and informative and we look forward to seeing you soon!
GlobalJax is Moving
We’re not going far but starting next week, GlobalJax will be located at the WJCT building near Everbank Field in downtown Jacksonville!

Find out more here and then be on the look-out for information for a members-only open house to be scheduled later this month.
