COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. AMPLIFIED.
On October 22, we kicked off our second Breakthroughs Summit with more than 40 community leaders participating in our Think Tank event at Bethesda Hospital East in Boynton Beach. These leaders heard from five project presenters related to issues of housing, poverty and behavioral health. Then, they selected three projects that were presented to over 100 leaders at our Breakthroughs Summit on February 7th at Manatee Lagoon.
Immediately following this summit, the three task forces began working on their 100-day Rapid Results plans. The results of this work will be shared at the 100-Day Breakfast on May 27.

We encouraged our attendees to pick one of these projects and work with the teams to develop and accomplish their specific goals in 100 days.
