The Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce is hosting “Economic Summit XI” a symposium, trade exposition and breakfast to address important issues facing Long Island’s businesses and industries. The event, which has attracted hundreds of participants annually, will take place on Thursday, April 23, 2009 from 7:30 – 10:00 AM at the Crest Hollow Country Club, 8325 Jericho Turnpike,Woodbury. Sponsors to date include Newsday, JVKellyGroup, The Home Depot, North Shore Financial and Leviton Manufacturing Company.
Keynote Speaker will be Consuelo Mack, Host of WLIW21’s WealthTrack, who will address the audience on the opportunities and challenges which face our businesses. MONEY magazine named Consuelo "The Best Money TV Host" in their 2008 "100 Best" issue, saying “Cramer may entertain, but when it’s your future at stake, you are far better off tuning in to Mack.” She has also been praised as the “Cramer antidote” by the New York Sun. Now in her fourth season of the series on public television (season five launches July) and formerly a senior correspondent at CNBC, Consuelo Mack gets guests who do not otherwise make TV appearances. Consuelo Mack goes beyond the traditional stock and bond markets to cover all of the investments people care about, including “green” investing, insurance, real estate, art and collectibles.
She will be joined by a distinguished panel of industry experts who will participate in a discussion to address the present challenges, the future of commerce and industry within our economic times and how that will impact economic prosperity here on Long Island. Each panelist is an industry expert within a specific category present on Long Island. Among the panelists are:
- Dr. Robert Scott, Adelphi University
- Jim Kelly, JVKellyGroup
- Sal Ferro, Alure Home Improvement
- Mark S. Fogel, Leviton Manufacturing Company
- John V. Terrana, Forchelli, Curto, Crowe, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo & Cohn, LLP
“This Summit provides an exciting forum for discussion about various business sectors and their impact in today’s financial environment.” said David Walsdorf, Executive Board Member for the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce. “Each panelist is an effective industry leader who will discuss innovative strategies which businesses can implement to sustain and even prosper here on Long Island. It is an event that shouldn’t be missed,” he continued.
