Palm Beach County Day Celebrates the County’s Centennial

On March 4th, Palm Beach County took its centennial celebration to Tallahassee for Palm Beach County Day. Palm Beach County was created from Dade County on July 1st, 1909. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Palm Beach County, the Florida House and Senate passed a resolution recognizing the County’s 100 years of distinctive history. The centennial celebration was represented in all of the Palm Beach County Day publications and banners displayed throughout the event.

This year’s Palm Beach County Day utilized a more focused, personal approach in order to make informal networking the heart of our lobbying efforts. One event that was added this year was a Wednesday morning continental breakfast that allowed participants to come and go as they please while enjoying a breakfast buffet. The goal was to allow people to network at their leisure or to grab food to take with them to the Capitol in preparation for their long day of lobbying. Attendees also enjoyed evening Hospitality Suites, Wednesday Exhibits and the Evening Reception, which was very effective at bringing Palm Beach County leaders and state legislators together to discuss the future of our county.
