The committee focusing on administrative, education, information and technology, manufacturing, utilities and wholesale will hold its discussion at 11 a.m.
The group related to accommodation, food, tourism, construction, real estate, recreation, retail and transportation will meet at noon. Palm Beach County Mayor Dave Kerner is a member of this group.
The executive committee meeting with the governor will then happen at 3 p.m.
