Adam Putnam emphasized the importance that water and energy will play in Florida’s future.
Keiser University’s (KU) long-term goal of establish-ing a residential campus has been reached. For KU, the agreement results in the sec-ond West Palm Beach location and first residential campus in Florida. It ensures North-wood University students can complete their education ef-fectively and seamlessly. An-other exciting development was announced, the new Cen-
ter for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, which is intend-ed to prepare graduates to start their own businesses and reach greater profession-al heights.
Regionally accredited KU
has served Florida students, families and the state for nearly 40 years, offering 100 degrees from the associate to doctoral levels, and a variety of customized training and business partnerships.
“A larger university pres-ence could mean more in-terns for local businesses, a better-trained workforce and a stronger selling point for luring companies to relo-
cate here,” said Dennis Grady, CEO of the Chamber of Com-merce of the Palm Beaches. “There’s the opportunity to further expand the higher ed-ucation opportunities on that campus, which is exciting,” he said. “More student enroll-ment raises it to a higher lev-el, and one thing Keiser Uni-versity has committed to in Palm Beach County is being a strong community leader.”
Recently re-elected Mayor Jeri Muoio was the March Trustee luncheon speaker. She thanked the Chamber for its support in her re-cent campaign and outlined some of her priori-ties in her second term.
She informed the group that new downtown trolleys will be appearing very soon. The city administration is continuing their work with neighborhoods and businesses on the South Dixie Highway Improvement efforts. She al-so shared her enthusiasm for the new spring training facility that will be developed at 45th Street and Haverhill Road.
More than 40 Trustees attended the lun-cheon; if you are interested in learning more about the Chamber’s Trustee program, contact Kelly Fanelli at [email protected] or (561) 833-3711 (ext. 235).
The Residence Inn, togeth-er with the Jacobsohn, Koo-lik and Meyer families, cele-brated the grand opening of the 152-room Residence Inn West Palm Beach Downtown/CityPlace on Thursday, March 19. The extended-stay and pet-friendly hotel, operated under Marriott Hotels, high-lighted its partnership with the Peggy Adams Animal Res-cue League, whose mission is to provide shelter to lost, homeless and unwanted an-imals. Residence Inn West Palm Beach Downtown/City-Place, which will be offering a special Peggy Adams Ani-mal Rescue League rate, will donate $10 per night to the rescue league for every suite booked under this special rate when using promo code PX3 to book a room on www.resi-denceinnwestpalmbeach.com from now to July 15.
Notable attendees includ-
ed owners Ralph Jacobsohn, Howard Jacobsohn, Gary Koo-lik and Bill Meyer; Vice Pres-ident and Global Brand Man-ager of Residence Inn, Diane Mayer; Residence Inn West Palm Beach Downtown/City-Place General Manager, Con-nie Breen; West Palm Beach Mayor, Jeri Muoio; Peggy Ad-ams Animal Rescue League Executive Director, Richard Anderson.
“Downtown West Palm Beach has become a world-class city, and we are very proud that Residence Inn is a part of it,” said Koolik, who — together with his partners, Di-ane Mayer, Connie Breen and
Mayor Jeri Muoio — partici-pated in the ribbon-cutting during the extravagant eve-ning, complete with live Latin American and jazz/blues mu-sic by Grammy nominee Mi-chael Moses, giveaways for Residence Inn vacations, and a puppy-shaped cake.
Featuring deluxe amenities, nine floors of stylish suites — some with views of the trop-ical downtown environment — and convenient services tai-lored to today’s savvy traveler, the Residence Inn offers a one-of-a-kind authentic destina-tion with easy access to Palm Beach International Airport, CityPlace, Palm Beach Con-
vention Center, Coral Sky Am-phitheater, and plenty of near-by golf courses and beaches.
Spacious studio, one- and two-bedroom suites — ranging from 462 square feet to 825 square feet — boast separate areas for living, sleeping and dining, and come with ful-ly equipped kitchens, luxury bedding and complimentary Wi-Fi. The hotel also includes a complimentary hot break-fast buffet in the sophisticated lobby; a 24-hour state-of-the-art fitness center overlook-ing the contemporary, tropi-cal pool; and two conference rooms offering 2,500 square feet of total event space.
Residence Inn West Palm Beach Downtown/CityPlace is located at 455 Hibiscus St., West Palm Beach, FL 33401. For more information, visit www.residenceinnwestpalm-beach.com or call (561) 653-8100.

29 and runs through May 3. Tickets are available at the Chamber office (401 N. Flagler Drive) and can also be pur-chased from the SunFest web-site — www.sunfest.com.
