The Palm Beach County government meeting on April 10, 2024, spotlighted the appointment of Cassandra Oliver to the Small Business Advisory Committee (SBAC), a key move aimed at enhancing local business representation. The SBAC, which consists of 11 members, is designed to provide guidance and support for small businesses in the area, with each commissioner appointing one member from their district and four at-large members approved by the governing board.
Cassandra Oliver, the chief operations officer of KWA Group LLC, was recommended for an at-large position. During the meeting, she expressed her gratitude for the opportunity, emphasizing her commitment to volunteerism and community service as a small business owner. "I am looking forward to serving in any capacity possible," Oliver stated, highlighting her dedication to supporting local businesses.
The board swiftly moved to approve her appointment, with a motion and second leading to a unanimous vote in favor. This decision not only fills a crucial position on the committee but also reinforces the county's commitment to fostering small business growth and community involvement.
In addition to Oliver's appointment, Commissioner Woodway announced the selection of Josie Markovic to fill a district court position, further indicating ongoing efforts to enhance local governance through citizen engagement. The meeting concluded with no additional comments, marking a productive session focused on strengthening community ties and business advocacy.
