CEO: Our incredible steering committee, volunteers, and corporate partners are the heartbeat of this festival, and we couldn’t have done this without you.
Dear members,
Here is another “Note from Noel” - a monthly initiative with the intention to keep you - our members - informed on our organization’s accomplishments, goals, and decisive steps towards a prosperous future. To put it simply, we want to do a better job of telling our story. The more you know about everything going on here at the Chamber, the more you can trust the success of the organization.
February concluded with a phenomenal ArtiGras Fine Arts Festival experience. Your wonderful reviews and heartfelt thank-you's have made this festival worthwhile, and we are grateful for your feedback, but we couldn't do it alone. Our incredible steering committee, volunteers, and corporate partners are the heartbeat of this festival, and we couldn’t have done this without you. On the heels of one festival, came another: ArtFest by the Sea. Additionally, this month, we celebrated Women’s History month with our annual Women in Business Connect event. Intimate conversations with women who have preserved Jupiter's history put into perspective the important contributions of women. Below you will find a few of our “wins” and how they align with our strategic imperatives, which ensure Palm Beach North continues to be Florida’s “Prosperity Coast.”
- ArtFest makes a comeback after a 2-year hiatus
After two-years, we were finally able to bring back our much-loved springtime tradition, ArtFest by the Sea at Juno Beach presented by Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. It was incredible rewarding to see one of the top 50 Art Shows in America provide opportunities for families to enjoy the sunshine, beach, food and most of all, the art. With over 250 artists, displaying a wide range of works from life-size sculptures to photography and jewelry, it is safe to say that ArtFest was a weekend of visual inspiration. As a Chamber, we aim to create ways to increase the economic impact of our region. Partnering with Howard Alan Events to ensure that we bring people from all over the country to Palm Beach North to spend money with our local businesses, helps us achieve that goal. We thank you for your support and partnership and we look forward to seeing continual growth and expansion in the upcoming years.
- Our Leadership Award nominations are now open
This year’s Leadership Awards dinner will be held at PGA National Resort & Spa, the evening of Thursday, May 26. It is important to us as a Chamber, that we make every effort to highlight deserving businesses and reward them for their efforts to go above and beyond the standard in our Palm Beach North business community. The most important part of this process is the participation we receive to nominate these deserving businesses. You are our eyes and ears, and we are depending on our community, to take an active role in this collaborative effort recognizing our leaders. Everyone can nominate a member for the following accolades: Business of the Year, Ed Tancer Community Leader of the Year, Non-Profit of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Young Professional of the Year, Environmental Stewardship, Gaeta Chairman’s Excellence Awards. Please remember all nominees must be a member for at least one year. Nominations close Friday, April 15. We encourage you all to invite you families, friends and associates to have a conversation about the business leaders that have made an impact in Palm Beach North and nominate them.
- Our new prosperity journal is at your doorstep
The Palm Beach North Prosperity journal has been delivered to you, and we have a few extra copies in our office as well. If you’ve ever had a question about what it's like to be a part of the Palm Beach North community, our Prosperity Journal has the answer for you. This visually appea;ing publication really shows our thriving businesses, award-winning culture, rich history, and the natural beauty that makes the Palm Beach North lifestyle a paradise. I encourage you to take a deep dive in our Prosperity Journal and perhaps learn something about us that you didn’t know before. Learn why visitors and new residents alike are coming to our region in record numbers and take pride in knowing that you are a part of a strong and vibrant prosperity coast.
Our successes are your successes. Everything we do is to better serve our Chamber members and elevate our Palm Beach North region. We are proud of what we have accomplished this past month and are looking forward to April.
