Constituent Outreach

The Ball Park of the Palm Beaches

A big thank you to our Frontline Heroes.

During the COVID pandemic our Nurses, EMS and Law Enforcement Officers put their lives on the line to help those affected by the pandemic. To thank them, Commissioner Sachs arranged a baseball game between the Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros at the Ball Park of the Palm Beaches. It was a major gesture of gratitude to our Frontline Heroes.

Consulate Community ID Day

An ID card is essential to access County services and many of our residents may not qualify for State identification. Therefore, Commissioner Sachs organized three Consular offices, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, to identify and register their citizens. The venue was held at a county facility along with a COVID vaccination van as a community outreach.

Jay DiPietro,
Past President of Boca West Country Club and Community Advocate

Jay DiPietro raised millions for children with special needs. In his honor, Commissioner Maria Sachs proposed the naming of a roadway in his memory that leads from Lake Worth Road to the Boundless Playground, a four-acre accessible playground that held a special place in his heart.

Ben Ferencz, Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials

As the prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials, Ben Ferencz presided over the prosecution of some of the worst criminals in history. As a resident in Commissioner Sachs’ district, his story has been told worldwide as the last survivor of those historic times. Commissioner Sachs asked Governor Ron DeSantis to award the highest honor in the State of Florida, The Medal of Freedom, to our local hero.

Transportation Conference

As development increases in our county, transportation becomes a challenge. Commissioner Sachs invited the Secretary of the Florida Department of Transportation to meet with community leaders, county engineers, and professors and students from Florida Atlantic University. Working together, solutions were discussed to alleviate traffic, congestion and aging infrastructure.

Sachs Volunteer Brigade

After COVID, many of our residents wanted to give back to the community. In an effort to place volunteers with accredited organizations, Commissioner Sachs invited various groups to showcase their volunteer opportunities. Buses delivered eager volunteers to help out where the help is most needed.

Transportation and Housing Economic Summit

The Summit, initiated by Commissioner Maria Sachs, brought together industry, public, and other organizations to discuss solutions to housing and transportation issues. Held at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, it was a great success in initiating our County’s reemergence as a leader.
