TODAY: Christina Lambert to Host Resident Policy Roundtable Focused on Education, Economic Opportunity & Small Business

Residents invited to join conversations on education, economic development, tourism, entrepreneurship and job creation

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, October 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, Monday, October 19, former City Commissioner and West Palm Beach mayoral candidate Christina Lambert will host the third in a series of resident policy roundtables designed to give West Palm Beach residents a direct voice in shaping priorities and solutions for the city’s future.

The third in a series of four resident policy roundtables, today's event will bring residents, community leaders and local experts together for three conversations focused on: Education; Economic Development & Tourism; and Small Business, Entrepreneurship & Job Creation.

The discussions will explore how West Palm Beach can expand economic opportunity for residents, support local businesses and entrepreneurs, strengthen education and workforce opportunities, and ensure the city's continued growth creates jobs and benefits for the people who live and work here. The roundtables are part of Lambert's residents-first approach to developing a comprehensive policy agenda for West Palm Beach, with 14 policy areas covered throughout October.

“West Palm Beach has tremendous economic opportunities ahead, but we need to make sure the people who live and work here are sharing in that success,” said Christina Lambert. “That means supporting our small businesses, investing in education and workforce development, and creating more pathways for residents to build successful careers and businesses right here in our community. I want to hear directly from residents, educators and business owners about what they need and how we can work together to make those opportunities a reality.”

Today's roundtable is open to the public, and residents are encouraged to participate in any or all of the discussions.
