The Connection Between Three Main Issues

A Message from Queens Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Thomas Grech

The primary reasons Queens has become a banking hotspot is because people want to work, live and play in Queens County. While this issue focuses on the banking sector, I am equally thrilled to detail our May 17th Business Expo at Citi Field.
This years’ breakfast topic focused on the intersection of healthcare, transportation and manufacturing, entitled “Queens: The new New York Destination.” As the largest employment segment in Queens, we firmly believe that healthcare will be a driving force for not only the jobs of the future, but also the need for a greater transportation network for both patients and employees.
Further, the resurgence in local Queens manufacturing also fuels the need for qualified employees and their employers to have access to a dependable transportation infrastructure to move raw materials, finished goods and employees.
The breakfast panel was held in the auditorium at Citi Field. This part of our day ran from 8 to 10 a.m. We were honored to have John Catsimatidis kick off the panel discussion on the importance of these three segments to Queens County. There will be Q&A, as well as questions and comments from the audience.
Our Breakfast Panel consisted of the following experts and leaders in Queens:
Healthcare
Caryn Schwab, Mt Sinai Health System
Susan Browning, Northwell Health
Transportation
Ya Ting Liu, BQX
Elana Ehrenberg, NYC Ferry
Manufacturing
Charles Boyce, Boyce Technologies
Gulriz Anil, Brooks Brothers
Paula Kirby, Plaxall Corporation
