West Palm Beach - November 2025

P alm Beach North is thriving, but prosperity does not happen in isolation. Growth is not just about numbers or headlines; it is about people and partnerships. At the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce, we believe collaboration is the cornerstone of long- term success. It is the reason we bring together leaders across industries, municipalities, and institutions to align strategies and strengthen our region. LEARNING FROM ONE ANOTHER Collaboration is powerful because it allows us to share best practices, unify our voice, and collectively address challenges that no single organization can solve alone. That is why I am honored to chair the Florida Association of Chamber Professionals (FACP). In this role, I work with chamber leaders from across the state to exchange ideas, replicatewhat works, and advocate for policies that benefit communities everywhere. When chambers collaborate, we amplify impact not only for businesses, but for the quality of life of every resident. LOCAL PARTNERS DRIVING REGIONAL PROSPERITY Here at home, we are fortunate to work alongside incredible partners who share our commitment to building a vibrant economy. The Business Development Board of Palm Beach County and the Economic Council of Palm Beach County are two of our closest allies; we are aligning resources to attract investment, support innovation, and ensure our region remains competitive. Together, we are cultivating an ecosystem where businesses can scale and residents can thrive. STATEWIDE AND NATIONAL CONNECTIONS Our partnerships extend beyond Palm Beach County. We collaborate with the Florida Chamber of Commerce and its President & CEO, Mark Wilson, aligning on initiatives that strengthen the state’s economy and create opportunity for all Floridians. On the national stage, we engage with the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives (ACCE), connecting with peers from across the country to share insights and bring innovative solutions back to our community. WORKFORCE, ADVOCACY, AND BUSINESS SUPPORT Collaboration also fuels our work in talent development, advocacy, and business support. We work with legislators at the municipal and state level to advocate for policies that support smart growth, infrastructure investment, and housing affordability. Through partnerships with CareerSource Palm Beach County, the Florida Small Business Development Center at FAU, and other like-minded organizations, we provide resources that help employers find skilled workers and entrepreneurs access the tools they need to succeed. These alliances ensure that businesses of every size, from startups to multinationals, can grow with confidence in our region. A UNIFIED PATH FORWARD The challenges we face, from housing affordability to workforce readiness, are too complex for any single group to solve. But together, we have the knowledge, capacity, and vision to create meaningful change. Collaboration is how we lead this region forward. At the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce, we remain committed to fostering partnerships that drive prosperity, resilience, and opportunity for all. Join us. Together, we can continue to shape the future of Palm Beach North as Florida’s Prosperity Coast®. Visit us at pbnchamber.com to explore how you can get involved today.
