Welcome, introductions, opening remarks and agenda review (Scully)
Anti-trust statement (Jeff Wharton)
The cardinal rule in keeping an association’s operations within anti-trust laws is
that there should be no agreements – express or implied – which restrain the
member’s freedom to make independent decisions in matters that affect
competition. Each member must be completely independent to set prices,
establish production and sales levels, choose the markets in which he or she will
operate and select his or her customers and suppliers.

MINUTES
The meeting was opened with introductions by all attendees, followed by the reading of the Anti-Trust
Statement. The chair explained that the agenda would be modified to accommodate stop-by visits by
APTA and FTA Officials. The Chair provided her report including synopses of Executive Committee and
Board of Director actions, the January BMBG meeting survey, APTA's new Strategic Plan, the Advocacy
All Stars Program, an overview of the Funding & Finance Practicum and the last BMBG Designated
Committee Report to the APTA Board of Directors. The Chair recognized Raul Bravo who has been
selected as APTA Business Member of the Year. Retiring BMBG Member Dan Reichard was also
recognized for having served many years in the BMBG in multiple capacities.
APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy, incoming APTA Chair Phil Washington and Acting FTA
Administrator, Therese McMillan visited the BMBG meeting. Acknowledging the Funding and Financing
Practicum and her work on the Governance Review Task Force, Phil Washington thanked outgoing chair
Iannuzziello for her service and leadership. He also thanked Jeff Wharton for his work as the EXPO
Chair and Hugh Harrison's work as the Chair of the APTF. Questions from attendees led to a brief
discussion regarding the Denver RTD's Public-Private partnership.
Therese McMillan expressed optimism for the future of transit. She provided brief remarks on current
events effecting transit and shared USDOT Secretary Foxx' desire to get things done.
Michael Melaniphy thanked the chair for her outstanding leadership calling her energy boundless and her
enthusiasm infectious. He also called Jeff Wharton an amazing EXPO Chair and gave an overview of
some of the EXPO highlights including 55 buses on the exhibit floor, 7 Learning Zones and International
representation from 37 countries.
The schedule resumed upon the guests' departure and the minutes of the June 2014 meeting were
approved. Members of the graduating Leadership APTA Class delivered a presentation entitled,
Changing Your World: Transit Funding and the Grand Community Vision. The presentation dealt with
getting regional decision makers to understand the importance of transit in their region .
Committee Reports
 Outgoing Budget Committee Chair Jim Srygley presented the FY 2014-2015 Carryover Budget, which
was approved.
 BMBG Vice Chair and the 2014 EXPO Chair Jeff Wharton provided an overview of EXPO and he
provided details of the activities and events participants would experience.
 Government Affairs Chair Cliff Henke updated the committee on the Advocacy All-Stars Program.
Government Affairs Director Brian Tynan reiterated the impact of effective legislative lobbying and the
potential impact of business members on their elected representatives. He also spoke to the Buy
America program and the letter that has been drafted regarding the issue. Darnell Grisby
demonstrated the new GIS program being used to readily identify the legislative representatives of
our members and member businesses and members commented that it was a great tool and that it
would be great if it was available globally. Darnell responded that it was only being developed for US
information at this point in time.
 Small Business Committee Chair Eve Williams provided an update on the committee’s re-visioning
efforts. The committee has been reviewing their goals, objectives and strategies to reinforce its
relevance and service to the members. The outcome of the effort will serve as a guidance document
for the committee.

Business Development Chair Jeff Wharton updated the BMBG on the work and structure of the
committee, which has developed two additional subcommittees to reinforce the BMBG’s efforts to
strengthen the availability of rail and transit engineering education and increase APTA’s business
member presence in the international marketplace. These new subcommittees and chair’s
emphasized the importance of this effort and the need to provide the resources necessary to bring
the goals to fruition.
Programs Committee Chair John Bartosiewicz informed the committee of value added APTA
activities sponsored by the BMBG. In addition to developing sessions for the Annual Meeting, the
committee had updated the Business Members Brochure which will be distributed in the business
member EXPO booth in the APTA Pavilion and planning is already underway to provide exciting
sessions at 2015 conferences and a dynamic speaker for the next Annual Meeting.
Procurement Committee Chair Natalie Cornell reported on the new Procurement Handbook: A Guide
for Transit Industry Executives which has been completed and is available to anyone at the business
member booth and that copies of the procurement handbook for transit board members were also
available. She also reported on the ideas that were being developed for the committee new work
program including a new topic of A&E procurement issues and the idea of developing webinars and
program sessions going forward.
Frank DiGiacomo reviewed the BMBG Bylaws issue regarding the expansion of the number of elected
members on the BMBG. Alan Wulkan spoke in support of leaving the size of the board as it is. He said
that the BMBG is a special organization and that with its leadership the business members have
accomplished a lot. He noted that a key to that success was having a small board that balances its history
with new ideas, and that there are often unintended consequences of expanding boards. He asked if it is
worth the effort to try to get 2/3 of the board to vote to change the size of the board in order to add three
more seats on the board.
Chuck Wochele spoke in support of expanding the size of the board and having more inclusion. He noted
that adding three more seats would not change the way the board conducts its business and that the
board is just about the same size as it was when it was established 35 years ago, but the number of
business member companies has increased significantly.
Member comments during the discussion included the need for change and more inclusiveness, that it
takes a while and a level of involvement before someone is elected to the board, that it's hard to bring on
new members when there are only one of two open seats, and that nothing is broken and nothing needs
to be fixed. It was moved and seconded that the Bylaws Committee submit a proposal for adoption at the
January meeting to revise the bylaws to increase the number of elected members on the board from 25 to
28 members. The motion carried with the following members voting yes: Barberis, Bartosiewicz,
Coleman, DiGiacomo, Harrison, Olivier, Policarpio, Laps, Promponas, Rogers, Rosenblum, Simonetta,
Skoutelas, Smith, Srygley, Williams, Navejar, Greene, Pinson, and Wochele; and the following members
voting no: Iannuzziello, Scully, Callier, Green, Turney and Wulkan.
Pat Scully invited all business members to attend the January BMBG meeting which will be held at the
PGA Resort in Palm Beach Gardens. He noted that this time the meeting would take place Monday
through Wednesday instead of the previous Wednesday through Friday schedule and he said that
members could register on-line starting on October 26th.
Pat thanked Angela for her two years of service as chair and for her leadership on behalf of APTA's
business members. He noted that she had started out with an important agenda for her term and that she
had delivered that agenda. She noted that the board was in good hands with Pat Scully, Jeff Wharton and
Hugh Harrison, and that going forward younger people need to get engaged on the board.
The meeting was adjourned.

Business Development Committee would like to work with Mike Schneider
and APTA staff to determine how to include P-3 issues and opportunities

Summary Report

BMWDC) have been split into two sub-committees, the Youth Summit Subcommittee, and the Passenger REES Sub-committee. The sub-committees will
allow focused actions by dedicated groups to deliver the programs.
The programs support development of new talent for work within the general rail
and transit industry through efforts in two main areas; a focus on youths
considering rail and transit opportunities in higher education and technical
positions, and preparing educators at the Trade School, Associates, Bachelors,
and advanced Degree levels to deliver a positive message about the
opportunities in the rail and transit industry.
The benefits to the Business Members is a pipeline of potential employees
across many levels that have a positive view of the rail and transit industry and
initial understanding of what the industry does and how it operates.
1) APTA Youth Summit - The goal is to build the next generation of
transportation professionals by helping students to learn about the public
transit industry. The Summit opens the door for 50 young people to discover

Summary Report
Business Members Government Affairs Committee
1) Advocate for long term funding.
Accomplishments:
Most of what the Committee has done historically and
recently has been with the principal goal of making the case for long-term
funding. Advocacy training, message development, Hill visits, research and
communications are almost entirely dedicated toward this overarching goal.
One of the top priorities for the Business Members Government Affairs
Committee (jointly with the BMBG) is an ongoing effort to increase the
advocacy activities of APTA’s Business Members in a manner that supports
the broader goals of the public transportation industry. The BMGA
Committee has continued to provide support to the broad business
membership through training webinars, toolkits and other advice. This
support has been aimed at providing business members with the knowledge,
skills, and tools required to make them confident advocates for greater
investment in public transportation. Webinars conducted throughout 2013
remain available online, and toolkits have been distributed ahead of
congressional recess periods.
Much of the above work is continuing and ongoing.
The Committee will be conducting a review of advocacy support tools and
training to determine what is most effective for the most members. The
Committee has supported APTA’s ongoing efforts to enhance the Geographic
Information System (GIS) that has been developed in support of APTA’s
advocacy with Congress. Further support in ensuring the accuracy of data of
business member presence will be an area requiring further assistance.
2) Provide legislative meeting support for business member Hill visits
Accomplishments:
APTA’s Business Members planned and completed a
very successful Capitol Hill Fly-in in December at the tail end of the 113th
Congress, as final debates were being held on appropriations and tax
legislation. However, the primary focus of the Fly-In was to set the stage for
future passage of a long-term authorization bill, and make sure Members of
Congress understood the critical economic and business impact of Federal
transportation investments. The Committee has budgeted for support of
future legislative fly-ins and Hill visits.
34
Following on the success of the December Fly-in, the
Business Members will likely seek to replicate that event at an appropriate
time in 2015. Decisions on future fly-in and Hill visit activity are made on an
as needed basis, depending on the activity occurring on Capitol Hill related to
APTA’s legislative priorities. Support will be offered again for APTA’s
legislative conference in March.
APTA’s Business Members will also look to contribute in a significant way to
the initiative of the APTA Chair, the “Stand Up for Transportation” (National
Infrastructure Advocacy Day). The BMGA Committee has worked on plans to
guide APTA Business Member participation.
The Committee is also developing a concept for a Business Member interview
with a Member of Congress that would be featured in Passenger Transport.
The idea would be a printed interview of the Member of Congress by the
constituent APTA Business Member, and would talk about priorities, but also
help with building relationships as the series progresses.
The Committee will also look to support an advertisement demonstrating the
support of the transit business community in Capitol Hill publications.
3) Support a business spokesperson that can communicate the business
message for transit funding and communicate with conservatives
Accomplishments:
The Committee previously had supported the work of
former Governor Tommy Thompson as a spokesperson for the industry.
The Committee continues to consider whether
another relationship here could be leveraged to support Business Member
advocacy, and will continue to explore this concept.
4) Develop research and policy reports that support APTA’s advocacy
objectives.
Accomplishments:
The Committee continues to contribute to the
planning and development of research products identified and advanced
through APTA’s Policy Department.
Business Members will continue to contribute to a
variety of policy reports that can provide important support for the legislative
priorities of the Association.
The advocacy reports and projects that we have scheduled for this year:



International Business Models Synthesis;
Report on PPP Restrictions and/or Barriers to greater P3 participation;
Private Sector Benefits of Guaranteed Funding;
35



An additional Free Congress Foundation Report on messaging for new
conservatives;
Reports on Street Cars and BRT;
A follow-on report of the Transit and Real Estate that APTA did with the National
Association of Realtors.
5) Support the work of the APTA Authorization Task Force
Accomplishments:
APTA’s Business Members assumed a leadership
role on APTA’s Authorization Task Force which is working to formulate the
recommendations of the industry for the next surface transportation
authorization bill. The BMGA Committee has also worked hard to advance
business member concerns on legislative issues within the association, such
as private sector interests on procurement matters (Buy America and bus
axle weight) and transportation finance.
The APTA Authorization Task Force completed its
activity and its work is now adopted as policy of the Association. As part of
item #1 above, the BMGA Committee will support APTA’s advocacy of the
recommendations.
Moving forwards, this report item will reflect general legislative advocacy,
including specific issues such as Buy America, bus axle weight, and
procurement that require special business member focus.

Summary Report
PROCUREMENT COMMITTEE
Committee Work Program update – January 2015
1) Monitor and React to Changes to US Content Requirements
Accomplishments:
Worked with Legislative Affairs Committee to draft
letter to Congress from bus builders and component suppliers explaining
impact of changing rules to more than 60% US content.
We will continue to monitor this push through the reauthorization process and current procurements (Amtrak high speed train
sets, for example) and develop acceptable language for responses from
across the industry.
2) Monitor LAANE/Jobs to Move America activities
Accomplishments:
Met with Madeline Janis at the Annual Meeting to
discuss any possible areas of mutual interest. We found one or two: the
method for counting the jobs should NOT penalize the more productive
suppliers and support for more apprenticeships for women and minorities.
Continue to monitor their activities through regular
meetings and conversations. They are much more nimble than we are and
have FTA’s ear. In the past we have taken a “wait and see” response to them,
but we probably need to become more aggressive.
There will be a session and a discussion at the BMBG meeting to generate
ideas and actions items on this topic.
Also, we have a draft budget item to help shape and support the message.
We are recommending that a study is conducted that reports the good-news
on supply side jobs from our perspective.
3) A&E Contract Ts & Cs and other contracting issues (risk sharing)
Accomplishments:
items to be covered
A sub-committee has met and developed a list of
Refine the items and position them as ways agencies
can also win (so A&E firms aren’t perceived as just wining about their profits);
identify the best ways to educate agencies about the issues: webinars,
38
conference sessions, work with the Procurement Steering Committee to draft
standard A&E procurement guidelines.
4) Expand on work completed last year
Accomplishments:
New Procurement Handbook for Transit Executives
was published and distributed at EXPO and posted on the APTA website at
http://www.apta.com/resources/reportsandpublications/Pages/NewPublications.aspx . Four
work groups identified areas where procurement practices could be improved
and while the high level ideas were included in the handbook there is still
opportunity to expand and educate further.
Develop education materials that can be used to
explain the issues to agency procurement teams: webinars, conference
sessions and updates to the FTA training materials. Coordinate with the
Procurement and Materials Management Committee to highlight issues of
interest.

disadvantaged business members to establish meaningful business relationships with
clients and other potential partners.
Accomplishments:
Task Leader (Michelle James) is organizing her group to work
on the breakfast, COMTO outreach and the Resource room.

and goals and next steps. We anticipate having the first tech bar in the resource
room at the bus conference in Fort Worth in May 2015.
 BREAKFAST: We will utilize the program as we have in the past. We will review
the comments from the survey and make necessary adjustments.
 COMTO: We would like to start a networking strategy at least 2 times a year (this
year at the bus conf and annual conf) that invites the small and DBE business to
network with the local COMTO members in transit. The objective is to find national
synergy among small firms in various locales.
2. Second Work Program Objective: Develop programs for small and disadvantaged
business members to maximize the value of their APTA membership.
Accomplishments:
Task Leader (Luis Lugo) met with his team and have
prioritized the activities that can be accomplished for bus, rail and the annual

 WEBINARS: We will continue to host the webinars this year and develop better
ways to communicate their occurrences. We intend to do 3-4 this year. We are
working on topics and presenters.
 PROGRAMS: We will meet with the Programs group to explore the possibility of
tracks that are geared for small businesses. These may be more educational or
hands on type workshops. We anticipate having the first series for the annual
conference in October 2015.
 RECOGNITION: We are looking for avenues to recognize large APTA business
members who do business with small member. Also, we are interested in getting
in front of new members at the “This is APTA” forum. We intend to look for ways
to educate new member about being involved, perhaps put together a “goody bag”
to distribute.

local policy changes that affect small and disadvantaged business members, such as
certification, prompt payment, and sustainability issues.

what information they should gather and disseminate. Their work may also may lead
in developing a program track to educate DBEs on new federal policies and various
local policies changes and how these programs vary from state to state.
We must put a team together to interview various regulators
and collect information to disseminate. We will explore topics for a DBE track.

BMBG Bylaws Committee
DATE:
January 5, 2015
SUBJECT:
PROPOSED REVISIONS TO THE BMBG BYLAWS
At the October 2013 BMBG meeting, the BMBG Nominations Committee recommended
that the number of elected members of the BMBG be increased from 25 to 28 members, noting
that more and more companies want to be involved and that there needs to be more opportunities
for them on the Board. Since that time:
-
-
The Bylaws committee considered the expansion proposal and at the January 2013
BMBG meeting reported that they tabled the issue because the committee members had
strong opinions on both sides and could not come to a unanimous recommendation.
The BMBG chair appointed a task force to study the issue and to develop the arguments
for and against the proposed expansion of the size of the Board.
The Task Force presented its report at the October 2014 BMBG meeting and the BMBG
members voted to direct the Nominations Committee to provide proposed changes to the
BMBG bylaws for their consideration at the January 2015 meeting to reflect the increase
of the size of the board from 25 to 28 elected seats.
Following the Board’s direction at the October 2014 meeting, the committee has
identified the following changes needed to the BMBG bylaws to implement an increase of
elected BMBG members from 25 to 28 seats:
COMPOSITION OF BOARD
The Business Member Board of Governors shall be made up of 28 elected members who shall
be senior management officials of APTA Business Members in good standing representing the
47
various Business Member categories. In addition, Past Chairs of the Business Member Board of
Governors shall be voting members of the Board of Governors as long as they are senior
management officials of an APTA Business Member in good standing.
The term of office for the 28 elected members shall begin immediately at the conclusion of the
APTA Annual Meeting. The term shall conclude two years later immediately at the conclusion
of that year's Annual Meeting and will be subject to reelection to the Board of Governors
according to section "ELECTION GUIDELINES." One half of the Business Member Board
of Governors will become vacant each year.
Attached for the BMBG’s review at the January 2015 meeting is a copy of the Bylaws
Committee’s recommended changes to the current bylaws text, should the BMBG choose to
expand the size of the board. A copy of the current BMBG bylaws is also provided in this agenda

MEMORANDUM

From:
Janet Rogers, Chair
BMBG Budget Committee
DATE:
January 19, 2015
SUBJECT:
2016 BUSINESS MEMBER ACTIVITY FUND BUDGET
You will recall that we have traditionally adopted an annual budget for the Business
Member Activity Fund at our January meeting. As the budget committee was finalizing its
recommendations for FY2016, we learned that Activity Fund contributions have come in lower
this year, FY 2015, than in past years. Instead of $250,000 in revenues, this year’s revenues are
$230,000, and the same level of revenues are anticipated for 2016.
The reduction in revenues is generally due to recent mergers of large companies such as
New Flyer’s acquisition of NABI, Trapeze’s acquisition of Fare Logistics and AECOM’s
acquisition of URS. But it is also reflects the fact that companies come and go as members of
APTA. For example Titan, a major transit advertising company that was one of the largest
business members for a few years but has subsequently dropped its membership.
The budget committee will finalize its recommendations to you at our meeting in Palm
Beach but we wanted to provide you with the information that we have at the current time.
Attached for your review in advance of our meeting is the list of Activity Fund budget requests
for 2016 and also a fund statement that shows the deficit in the Activity Fund in 2016 if those
projects are advanced.
I anticipate that we will bring a balanced budget recommendation to you at the meeting,
including projects that support the work program of our various business member committees
and ones which can be completed in FY 2016.
62
FY2016 Business Member Activity Fund
New Funding Requests
Advocacy Consultant/Business Voice Champion -- $10,000 IN 2016, WITH 2015 FUNDS
CARRYING OVER

For FY2016, provide $10,000 to maintain balance at approximately $110,000 for potential
future Business voice champion
o Part of the Business Member Government Affairs Committee’s work plan involves
consideration of a business spokesperson that can communicate the business
message for transit funding and communicate with conservatives. The Committee
previously supported the work of former Governor Tommy Thompson as a
spokesperson for the industry. The Committee has had discussions about another
relationship here that could be leveraged to support Business Member advocacy,
and will continue to give consideration to the issues surrounding this concept.
Special Authorization Activities -- $50,000 IN 2016

Include $50,000 for FY2016 for potential future business member advocacy contributions
during the consideration of surface transportation authorization legislation.
o Costs incurred in FY2015 include costs associated with Advocacy All Star recognition,
and a planned “Transit Business” advocacy advertisement for Washington, DC
publications.
o Future costs may include additional collaboration with America’s Infrastructure
Alliance, or other business oriented national advocacy groups working toward
surface transportation authorization.
Webinars/fly-in support for business member authorization activity -- $25,000 IN 2016

Maintain a balance of $25,000 for this function.
o The APTA BMBG December Fly-in attracted over 30 businesses and 50 participating
individuals. Funds in this category have been used for a specialized meeting
scheduling contractor to facilitate coordinated scheduling of congressional visits, as
well as an online app function and onsite support. Funds in this category also
support associated meals and post event networking.
o Future fly-ins will be scheduled as needed, however, support has also been
previously offered to APTA business members during the APTA Legislative
Conference.
o Other expenses could potentially involve training and informational webinars, where
identified as appropriate.
63
Social Media -- $10,000 in 2015 and 2016

Provide social media commentary at APTA conferences and meetings that supports and
promotes business member issues and programs and, particularly, to engage college and
high school students to conect with our industry.
The Impact of Transit Supply Side Jobs on Local Economies -- $30,000 IN 2016

Supporting one of BMBG Chair Pat Scully’s issues regarding job creation in large rolling stock
procurements and Buy America, this proposal is for the development of a study that reports
the good-news on supply-side jobs from our industry’s perspective. A key effort in the
business member Procurement Committee work program has been working to better
inform the industry and policymakers at all levels about our industry’s efforts in job creation
and that the best way to create more transit industry jobs is to increase federal funding for
transit.
New York State has done some good work to show the economic impact of transit capital
program investments on the state economy. We can also draw from the work of other
groups (Duke University; Transit Equity Network; Blue-Green Alliance; Policy Link) all of
whom we have good relations with. The report would tell the story from our perspective,
focusing on what our industry is doing to have a positive impact on local jobs without
impacting the industry’s installed manufacturing base, helping policymakers understand
why it is a complicated issue with significant economic implications on various levels.
Industry Footprint Tool -- $10,000 IN 2016
APTA has made major improvements in its GIS tool, making it bigger and better than
ever. These funds will be used to obtain software that can enhance the availability of
information to support business member advocacy needs and linking new business members
with APTA’s advocacy efforts and activities.
Continued Relationship / Partnership with Free Congress Foundation -- $20,000 IN 2016
The Free Congress Foundation partnership with APTA dates back to the days of the late Paul
Weyrich. Free Congress Foundation is headed by James Gilmore, former governor of Virginia,
former head of the RNC, and former head of the Republican Governors Association. He
strongly believes that the Republican Party needs to embrace public transportation for both
economic and political reasons. Free Congress Foundation organizes a Capitol Hill Policy Forum
showcasing its reports. APTA’s business members will again be a financial partner with APTA in
this effort.
Annual Meeting Speaker – Los Angeles -- $40,000 in 2017 nets to $0 in 2016
64
Off year Rail Engineering -- $30,000 in 2016
Additional industry support for the newly formed bi-annual passenger Railway Engineering
Education Symposium (REES) program. The first REES program is funded by FY15 budget. These
additional funds will support on-going smaller sessions and seminars in the off years. This
initiative is being undertaken by the business member Workforce Development Committee and
is included in their work program for the next two years.
Tech Bar -- $3,000 in 2015 and 2016
This activity will take place in the business member resource room at the bus and rail
conferences, providing an opportunity for students to come to the conference and help APTA
members, from both the public and private sectors, discover and use new apps. The idea for
this activity grew out of the successful Tech Bars at the Annual Meeting in Chicago and business
member desires to find new ways to engage college and high school students with our industry.

THE SPA AT PGA NATIONAL
The moment you arrive at The Spa at PGA National, slip into your robe and slippers, you will
feel yourself relax instantly.
Our four-year, $100-million-dollar, resort-wide renovation rejuvenated the look of The Spa at
PGA National, through our possibilities for pure tranquility remain. We are a full-service spa and
salon presenting more than 100 ways to indulge. And while you’ll find all of the body and
beauty treatments you’d expect from a luxury spa, you’ll find plenty of surprises here, too –
including treatments based on our Waters of the World mineral pools (try the Salies de Bearn
with salts imported from the French Pyrenees); therapies rooted in global healing practices;
exclusive services bearing names like Phytomer and Dr. Obaji; and experiences inspired by our
paradise setting – such as our Sea Water Pearl Ritual.
Before you plan your visit to The Spa at PGA National, consider whether you prefer a solitary or
shared experience. Our treatments and packages provide for both, with options designed for
individuals, groups, couples and men. All of our guests are privy to our Waters of the World
pools and private women’s and men’s lounge areas featuring steam, sauna and whirlpool
amenities.
With extras like spa weekend packages and the Waters of the World Café, it’s tempting to plan
an extended escape at our Palm Beach spa – a stylish-yet-serene scene that makes PGA National
one of the top spa resorts in Florida.

PGA NATIONAL RESORT'S PALM
BEACH RESTAURANTS & BARS
The Best of Palm Beach Dining at Your Doorstep
It doesn’t always follow that resort dining rises to the caliber of “destination dining” – particularly when the
destination is Palm Beach. Not so at PGA National Resort & Spa: Our signature Ironwood Steak & Seafood is
just one of two Palm Beach restaurants to earn the Wine Spectator 2012 Award of Excellence (wait until you
see the wine list), and our iBar hosts one of the area’s consummate happy hours – you’ll understand when you
sample our culinary creations, sip on your favorite martini or get wrapped up in the live music and social
events.
Truth be told, all nine of PGA National Resort’s culinary concepts rank among the best Palm Beach Gardens
restaurants. We offer pool- and spa-side venues (in each, the menu and vibe precisely match the setting – think
frozen margaritas and fish tacos alongside our zero-entry resort pool; smoked salmon foccacia and fresh fruit
smoothies at our Waters of the World Café).
94
For casual gatherings, drop into one of our lounges or variations on the sports pub. Talk about a classic ending
to a championship day: Post-game, celebrate with drinks and lunch or dinner – with a view to our legendary
courses.
As for our four-year, $100-million-dollar resort-wide renovation? It made two of our restaurants even better –
see for yourself at Palm Terrace and Bar 91.
Whatever you’re craving, you’ll immediately discern: When it comes to Palm Beach dining, PGA National
Resort & Spa leads with impeccable quality and variety tailored to your desires and our one-of-a-kind settings.
Ready for your taste?
IRONWOOD STEAK &
SEAFOOD
This Wine Spectator 2012 Award of Excellence winner is PGA National
Resort's signature restaurant. Black Angus beef, locally-caught Wahoo,
raw bar selections and one of the most impressive wine lists in South
Florida all in a sophisticated space for nightly or private dining.
IBAR
One of the most-buzzed-about Palm Beach bars, iBAR at PGA National
Resort hosts a happy hour with cachet. Expect specials on signature
cocktails, beer, house wines and appetizers in an atmosphere that will help
you wind down – or gear up – for the evening. Check our calendar for live
entertainment and frequent events.
ICLUB PIANO BAR
Escape to iClub Piano Bar, where magic happens and memories begin.
Discover the romance of live entertainment that speaks to the soul. Revel
in the moment as your cares drift away like musical notes escaping into the
night.
It's the rebirth of classic music, style, sophistication and indulgence. It's the
intimacy of a supper club retreat all your own. It's world-class pianists and
vocalists performing jazz, classics, and contemporary favorites. And it's all
here, waiting for you, at iClub Piano Bar.
Sexy, savvy, sophisticated: At PGA National, indulge in an enchanted
evening. Start your night with a martini at iBar. Savor world-class dining at
Ironwood Steak & Seafood. Then linger longer as you enjoy live
entertainment at the seductive new iClub Piano Bar. We'll put the
Champagne on ice.
Open Thursday, Friday and Saturday with live music from 6:00pm to
9:00
95
PALM TERRACE
The place to fuel your championship day: Power up with our hot breakfast
buffet or traditional morning selections, breakfast smoothies, spa cuisine
and more. Sit inside or on the patio of this sharply-renovated space, with
views of the pool.
BAR 91
Providing the perfect post-game spot for juicy burgers, piled-high deli
sandwiches and hearty soups - with a full bar, HD TVs, expanded outdoor
seating and a view to one of the best venues in golf. A modern sports bar
with sprawling views of the greens. Open daily from 11:00am to 6:00pm.
WATERS OF THE WORLD CAFÉ
Our outdoor spa café, adjacent to our Waters of the World mineral pools, is
open from 11:00am to 4:00pm daily for light lunches, refreshments and
beverages – including signature cocktails. Try the Key West ceviche and a
“dessertini.”
