To ensure that the voices of our nonprofits are heard by our legislators, the Chamber provides scholarships to some of our CEOs to learn the process during Palm Beach County Day. This year, Kelly Powell, CEO of Community Partners, and Ty Barnes, CEO of 211 Palm Beach and Martin Counties attended.

Advocacy is one of the Chamber’s top priorities. What better way to introduce our members to the legislative process than to provide them with an opportunity to attend Palm Beach County Day in Tallahassee to meet with our delegation and aides, and learn about how to keep up during the legislative session? With that in mind, the Chamber provided scholarships to Kelly Powell, CEO of Community Partners of South Florida, and Ty Barnes, CEO of 211 of Palm Beach and Martin Counties. Additional members of the Chamber also attended, including Julie Swindler, CEO of Families First of Palm Beach County and Sherry Henry, CEO of BocaHab Center.
