A Message from tThe Chairman
he Business Council of Westchester is ready, willing and able to fulfill its mission in 2013: to make Westchester the very best place to live and work.
Members will find within the BCW the professional and vendor networks needed to grow. Our membership includes many of the world’s leading brands who call Westchester home and hundreds of mid size and small businesses sparking innovation and creating well- compensated jobs in this local economy.

a greater intellectual ferment and ability for you to
get things done. Members will learn and stay current through BCW programs as they participate in our vibrant councils. They will connect directly to government at the highest level and have a legislative advocate in the BCW.
Our members heard directly from U.S. Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, Members of Congress and New York’s elected officials. Our President Marsha Gordon, as well
as a number of our members, serve
on the Governor’s Regional Council, directing economic benefits to our area including 23 projects for Westchester just announced. And our Dr. Gordon serves
on the Mass Transit
Task Force for the
construction of the
new Tappan Zee

County. We are plugged in and contributing for the betterment of all the people of Westchester.
