ROOSEVELT ISLANDER: Roosevelt Island Business Networking ...

The Roosevelt Island Business Networking Group (RIBN) will be holding their fourth meeting on Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 PM.

Please RSVP to Tom Wood

We have three members lined up to speak. To be one of three members to present your business or service in a six-minute spotlight at a future meeting, please contact Tom.

Here is a report from the RIBN from their last meeting.

About 20 residents, with professions ranging from event designer and financial advisor to chef and yoga teacher, gathered on Tuesday morning, April 10, at Riverwalk Bar & Grill, where Jonathan Hoo provided coffee. As usual, the meeting kicked off with informal conversations and a business card exchange, as familiar faces and new members shared ideas about their respective small businesses and solo practices.

The member presentations featured remarks by Alan Siegal, who outlined the many links in the logistical chain that Genghis Khan Freight Service Inc. manages as a customs broker. Janet Falk, co-founder of the group, explored the impact of media coverage for a growing business or nonprofit, as well as communications, marketing and writing services. Airam da Silva told of the bone marrow matching network that the Icla da Silva Foundation has developed and urged members to register and also to participate in the upcoming 5K Run/Walk on May 12.

Attendees were invited to submit a listing of their contact information and services to The WIRE and to the Roosevelt Islander online. Members are encouraged to meet with others in the group and consider what they have to offer and what they might need from a colleague. The Roosevelt Island Business Networking Group on LinkedIn continues to grow.

The group plans to participate in Roosevelt Island Day, on Saturday, June 9th with a table in Good Shepherd Plaza. Details will follow.

The next event will be held on Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 pm. Please contact Tom Wood to RSVP. Members are welcome to bring Island friends and neighbors who are also small business owners and solo practitioners and expand the networking group.
