Speaker Introduction
Dorothy Jacks was elected to the office of Palm Beach County Property Appraiser in 2016 after a
distinguished 28-year career in the office.
During her tenure, Ms. Jacks has leveraged technology to better serve the citizens of Palm Beach
County. Several advanced and robust systems are now in place to increase efficiency and make it

As a result of Ms. Jacks' leadership, her office has clear, strategic goals for the future. You can
expect to see continuous advancements in technology, staff development, customer service,
processes and, eventually, the goal is to have an operation that is 100% paperless.
