In Jacksonville, a key focus of the session is military’s impact on the state and on retailing. Retail Masters have the opportunity to learn about Florida’s military population from a variety of perspectives – employer, co-worker, customer, neighbor, etc. Jacksonville’s Retail Road Trip has often featured tours of the Mayport Naval Base and some classes have even had the rare opportunity to tour a nuclear submarine. It is at this session, that Retailers recognize that one commonality they have with the military leaders they interact with is that both groups manage a similar demographic of employees and there are key take-a-ways from the experience related to leadership, management, recruitment and retention.
