The Treasure Coast is a region of
Florida that is located on the state's Atlantic coast, comprising Indian River,
St. Lucie, and Martin counties. The region, whose name refers to the
Spanish Treasure Coast Fleet lost in a 1715 hurricane, evidently emerged
from residents' desire to separate themselves from Miami and the Gold
Coast region. Our beautiful and vibrant cities within the Branch are Fort
Pierce, Port St. Lucie, Okeechobee, Sebastian, Vero Beach, and Stuart. We are
well supported by the Counties of Indian River, St. Lucie, Okeechobee, and
Martin due to the convenience and popularity of our gatherings. Within this
sizeable area the population consists of approximately 584,000 residents. The
Treasure Coast Branch was established in 1994.
We represent a very active membership that
contributes significantly to the communities we serve. We directly participate
in educational endeavors to bring scholarship opportunities. We hold numerous
annual fundraisers to benefit the local Treasure Coast Food Bank needs. We host
an annual Golf Tournament in May with proceeds benefiting our educational
and charitable works. We volunteer with the Keep Port St. Lucie Beautiful
(KPSLB) Program and the Treasure Coast Food Bank Pack the House Event. We
hosted several CEU workshops with different speakers and topics. We also
hosted our first Equipment Roadeo in early 2022.
There are regularly scheduled Executive Board
meetings and monthly membership meetings to share equitable Public Works
experiences with our government and commercial partners. Approximate membership
totals are 50.
