Charting A Course Ahead

With County Administrator Joseph Abruzzo at the helm, Palm Beach County Day made a huge splash in Tallahassee. The Board of County Commissioners, sponsors and many other elected officials and business leaders made headway as we charted a new course with new leadership. This year’s event brought over 350 people to Tallahassee to meet with legislators about the issues that are most vital to the people of Palm Beach County. The goal of promoting Palm Beach County’s legislative agenda to state legislators at the beginning of the legislative session was always in view as we attended events and meetings in Tallahassee. Our legislative team continues to actively work towards furthering the progress made by our efforts at Palm Beach County Day.

This year also noted the last Palm Beach County Day for former Chief Deputy County Administrator Todd Bonlarron, who retired April 1. For decades, Todd could be found sitting with our commissioners, staff, sponsors and attendees in meetings with legislators discussing the county’s agenda. He will be deeply missed.

A special thank you to our sponsors who made the events happen. Also, thank you to all of our attendees. Planning for next year is underway, and we hope you will start thinking ahead about sponsoring and attending Palm Beach County Day 2027, which will take place March 2-3.
