West Palm Beach November 2026

N O V E M B E R 2 0 2 6 | W E S T PA L M B E A C H 7 For many veterans, entering the civilian workforce or starting a business means navigating an entirely new environment. The language is different. The networks are different. The resources may be unfamiliar. Someone who spent years leading teams, solving complex problems, and operating under tremendous responsibility may suddenly find themselves having to build a professional network from the ground up. That is where connection matters. Palm Beach County is home to approximately 73,000 veterans. Each represents a different story, experience, and path forward. Some are building businesses. Others are pursuing their next career. Some are looking for mentors or professional connections, while others are ready to become mentors themselves. Our business community has an opportunity to meet them there. That belief is at the heart of the Palm Beach North Veterans Business Coalition, an initiative of the Palm Beach North Chamber of Commerce created to support and empower veteran entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals. Through networking, mentorship, business development, employment connections and community engagement, the Coalition creates a bridge between our veteran community and the broader Palm Beach North business community. And importantly, that work happens throughout the year. Because sometimes the most valuable resource we can provide is not another website or brochure. It is an introduction.
