Connecting Businesses & Banks For Growth
The Bankers Breakfast was hosted by Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. and produced in partnership with the Business Initiative Corporation of New York (BICNY) and the Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation (BOEDC). The official kick-off to Bronx Week, the event has grown in attendees and sponsorship each year.
“This is a great networking event. Businesses needs capital to grow, banks need businesses to grow,” explained Madeline Marquez, Vice President of BICNY, in an exclusive interview. “And both are inherently important to the economic development of our borough.”
The 2015 keynote speaker was Mr. William C. Dudley, President and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Mr. Dudley serves as Vice Chairman of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the group responsible for formulating the nation’s monetary policy. He joins a distinguished list of prior speakers that serve the Bronx, New York City and New York State.
