City of Boca Raton – Office of Economic Development
Lynn University’s social impact lab hosted an incredible and inspiring panel discussion about B Corporations. B Corps are a new kind of business that balance purpose and profit. With shared values based on corporate responsibility, sustainable companies like TOMS, Patagonia, Etsy and EILEEN FISHER are all doing well by doing good.
We recently provided an economic development update at the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County’s fourth quarter luncheon, which took place at the beautiful Kravis Center in West Palm Beach.
Our Office partnered with the Boca Raton Innovation Campus for our first panel discussion event. The topic of discussion was the Business of Health and Wellness and there were about 75 attendees. The local executives that participated in the discussion included the CEO’s from Celsius and Body Details, the Chief Medical Officer from MDViP and the VP of Marketing for Vitacost. We look forward to hosting similar events in the future.
