This is a reminder that the Long Island Business Council will be meeting next Wednesday, April 28th from 8:00 to 9:30am at the Sustainability Institute at Molloy College (7180 Republic Airport, East Farmingdale).
Announcing our special guest speaker: Richard M. Kessel of the New York Power Authority!
Mr. Kessel took office as president and chief executive officer of the New York Power Authority, the nation's largest state-owned electric utility, on October 14, 2008. An expert on New York energy issues, Mr. Kessel served as chairman and chief executive officer of the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) from 1997 to 2007. Prior to this, he served as LIPA chairman from 1989 to 1997.
Also speaking will be Bill Schoolman, owner of Classic Coach and Hampton Luxury Coach, who will be speaking about his efforts to fight the burdensome MTA payroll tax, including a landmark lawsuit declaring the payroll tax unconstitutional.
Since its inaugural meeting, the Long Island Business Council has been working tirelessly to bring tax relief, service consolidation, and many other issues of concern to our varied and vibrant communities. Part of this goal is gathering solutions and ideas from local community leaders, such as yourself, and bringing them to our elected officials. This is an interactive work session and we plan to start and end on time. A continental breakfast will be provided.
This meeting is by invitation only. If you have not already done so, please RSVP by calling (877) 811-7471.
Thank you, and we look forward to your participation!
Sincerely,
Richard M. Bivone, Past President, East Meadow Chamber & Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce
