MCC Business Awards Breakfast, November 3rd at Con Edison

For all of you who know MCC and new friends joining us who don't, the MCC Business Awards Breakfast sponsored by Wells Fargo is the business event of the year in NYC. This year we have the following stellar list of honorees:

Guest presenters will include Tim Zagat, NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Jill Kaplan and Joan Hamburg.

So how does this event happen? Early in the year MCC's Awards committee convenes to begin planning the event. We take nominations from members and the general community and select winners by the summertime. Con Edison has graciously hosted the event in their banquet room for many years and this year Wells Fargo became a presenting sponsor. The final step is selecting star presenters from the NYC community. In addition, we put together a printed program, design a visual presentation and attend to every detail from ordering flowers and the awards themselves to finding fun raffle prizes and giveaways.

Past years have seen many wonderful honorees and guests such as Mayor Bloomberg, Barbara Corcoran, Donald Trump, Pete Peterson, Jim Lebenthal, Philippe DeMontebello, David Remnick and James Cramer.

The best thing about this event is not only does it celebrate the NYC business community but celebrates what a truly amazing city we live in filled with talent, culture and innovative thinkers. We hope you will join us!
