At MCC, we work to connect our member companies so great things will happen. When MCC member Slowey/McManus had a special PR opportunity, we were able to connect them with MCC member Quadlogic Controls. This resulted in Quadlogic being quoted in the Inc. magazine article, "Your Road Map to Going Global in Uncertain Times." This is just one of many examples of how MCC works to get member companies visibility and grow their businesses!
MCC Members in the news: MCC member Slowey/McManus Communications, a strategic public relations firm,
arranged for fellow MCC member Quadlogic Controls to be highlighted in the Oct.
15, 2012 online edition of Inc. Magazine. The Inc. story is called “Your Road
Map to Going Global in Uncertain Times” and discusses supply chain strategy and
some of the benefits of being a New York manufacturer. See the story
here. For further info contact Jeff Roberts at jroberts@sloweymcmanus.com.

We love to talk about sustainability at MCC! Please
join us to meet your fellow chamber members in the sustainability field and
discuss the following topics.
MCC
Green Committee Meetings
The Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Green
Business Committee is pleased to commence monthly Green Design &
Construction sub-committee meetings. This meeting is for those in the
sustainability, construction, architecture, interior design or related fields.
This will be an introductory meeting. Please be prepared to introduce yourself
and talk for 2-3 minutes about your business. Please also bring your ideas of
what you’d like to see from this committee!
Please join us to discuss recent
developments in the green finance sector.
This
is a meeting for green energy professionals or those in a directly related
field. Guest speaker: Saverio Grosso, ENERActive Solutions and Jessica
Cooper, Urban Green Council.
MCC Co-Sponsored events:
The
Sustainability Summit emphasis is on identifying innovative diverse small
businesses and engaging industry leaders and stakeholders who support practical
green initiatives and strategic partnering. Interested groups will be industry
leaders, leaders in corporate America, government officials and multicultural
businesses of all sizes. Discussions will also focus upon sharing successes and
ideas as an incentive to create green partnerships in order to become and
remain viable in the 21st century. What differentiates this Summit from others
is its laser focus on exploring and resolving the sustainability concerns of
both its purchasing membership and large multi-ethnic supplier base. Further,
the Summit will showcase commercial sector match-making with green vendors.
Numerous panel sessions are scheduled to feature prominent speakers in
sustainability at varying levels that will directly address your operations and
share their experiences. The Summit will also highlight stateside innovation of
products and services from businesses that need access to clean tech funding
through its Innovation Arena. The Summit will promote the next generation of
sustainable practices and alternative energy technologies from certified
businesses. More importantly, this Summit is an invitation and challenge to all
enterprises for creating sustainable partnerships for supply chains and
stimulating US economic growth.

Efficiency Programs for sponsoring the MCC Green Business Committee for 2012.
We have an exciting year of programming coming up and thank the Green Team and
