President’s Message – May 2026

  • May 2026

As we head into May, I want to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who joined us for our April Business After Hours, we were even joined by the Palm City Chamber of Commerce and the Jensen Beach Chamber of Commerce. These joint events are always a great reminder of how much stronger we are when we come together as neighboring business communities. It was a wonderful evening of networking, collaboration, and connection, and we appreciate everyone who took the time to attend and support this regional partnership.

      April was also marked by an outstanding showing for our Hobe Sound Cleanup, and I can’t thank our volunteers and sponsors enough for their support. Because of your efforts, our town looks better, brighter, and cleaner for residents and visitors alike. Events like this showcase the pride we all share in our community and the impact we can make when we work together.

      And what a great time we had at the Kentucky Derby Party at Sophia’s — it was an absolute blast! This is just the second year of the event but it’s starting to find its stride. There was a lot of energy, fun, and sense of camaraderie that made it another memorable Chamber event for me. Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, and helped make the event such a success. Be sure to check out the next issue for photos capturing all the Derby day excitement!

      As always, thank you for your continued involvement and support of the Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce. Your participation is what fuels our events, strengthens our local economy, and keeps our community connected. I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events and gatherings this month.

President, Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce
