The City of Boynton Beach is looking for civic-minded individuals willing to share their unique talents, leadership qualities and dedicated efforts to bring to fruition the shared vision for the future of Boynton Beach.

The Boynton Beach Assembly: Committing to Our Future, was held at Hutchinson Island on October 20-21, 2006 and attended by approximately 70 people.  The assembly's purpose was to establish a shared vision for the future of Boynton Beach and policy recommendations for moving the City toward that goal.

The result of the assembly was a policy statement (149 KB PDF format) and implementation outline document.  As part of the implementation process the Boynton Beach City Commission appointed five (5) citizens to function as an Implementation Team, and established five (5) sub-committees to address key focus areas.  Those sub-committees are as follows:

1. Community Relations – This sub-committee will address cultural diversity and race relations for the City of Boynton Beach through external partnerships with local organizations and the establishment of a Community Events Commission, to include community events and promotions.

2. Public Communications and Governance – This sub-committee will be tasked with improving the mission and effectiveness of advisory boards, outreach efforts of the City and public information and communication, in order to foster a sense of community and common purpose among the citizenry of Boynton Beach.

3. Neighborhood Revitalization, Affordable Housing, Business Development and Retention – This sub-committee will be coordinating with other agencies such as the Business Development Board, the CRA, the development community and various governmental entities to develop a plan that will attract a mix of high-value industrial, commercial and residential development that will strengthen the tax base and generate good jobs for residents without adversely affecting the City's neighborhoods and community character.

4. Infrastructure – This sub-committee will be looking at the demands of a growing population and providing services and facilities for new and existing residential and commercial stakeholders.  Public buildings, traffic issues and Parks and Recreation will be the major concerns.

5. Education – This sub-committee will be addressing issues regarding the quality of schools and educational facilities, student achievement and recreational programs, and engaging the Education and Youth Advisory Board.
