Lake Worth Citizen Panel



Lake Worth Media is looking for applicants interested in becoming members of a special citizen panel that will address any or all issues presented to it (or that it thinks should be addressed). This panel will form the core of the PET System information and analysis service. Participation will be both convenient and effective. The results of panel surveys will be presented directly to the city commission and individually to its members.

Contact William Coakley at 561-582-7709 or email webmaster@lakeworthmedia.com
