Join the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce for our monthly breakfast on Wednesday, October 14, 2015 at the Palm Beach Gardens Marriott featuring Jon Steverson, Secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Secretary Steverson will provide an update on his vision and goals for the DEP.

About the DEP
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida's lead agency for environmental management and stewardship, is one of the more diverse agencies in state government - protecting our air, water and land. The vision of the Florida DEP is to create strong community partnerships, safeguard Florida's natural resources and enhance its ecosystems. 

​About Jon Steverson 
Jon Steverson currently serves as the Secretary of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Steverson is a member of the Florida Bar and trained as a litigator in the private sector before entering the world of public policy to represent the Florida Association of Counties before the Florida Legislature, the Governor and Cabinet, and numerous agencies and commissions. 
 
Steverson?s work for local governments led to an invitation by the Governor?s Office of Policy and Budget to participate in the formation and promotion of far-reaching restructurings of growth management, eminent domain, water, and energy policies in the State. Steverson?s tenure in the Governor?s Office spanned two administrations before he left the post of Environmental Policy Coordinator to reenter the private sector to represent clients in the areas of water policy, growth and environmental planning, as well as agriculture, transportation and economic development.

Steverson returned to public service to serve as Special Counsel on Policy and Legislative Affairs to Secretary Herschel Vinyard at the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and also assisted the Department as acting Deputy Secretary for Water Policy and Ecosystem Restoration, prior to beginning his tenure as Executive Director of the Northwest Florida Water Management District in June of 2012. At the District, he oversaw a restructuring of the agency and its budget that resulted in numerous benefits to the natural resources and communities throughout the Panhandle.
