WMCC has continued to stay focused on its core mission, which is to Advocate for, Connect with, and Educate the Manhattan business com- munity. Th e MCC’s relationships with city, state and federal governments have helped to garner support for Manhattan businesses and to encourage business growth and job creation. With funding from City Council Members Ben Kallos and Dan Garodnick, we developed a 2nd Avenue app to promote businesses in the subway construction zone and also estab- lished Friends of Ruppert Park to revitalize the one acre park on 2nd Ave. @ 90th Street. We also set up the 2nd Ave. Business Alliance as a 501c(6) organization to propel the economic development along 2nd Avenue. Advocacy on behalf of MCC members ranged from the fi ght to win signif- icant regulatory reforms for New York City businesses, to pushing the ad- ministration for commercial rent tax reform. MCC also stood up for small businesses on the legislative front regarding a variety of business bills: transit benefi ts, “ban the box,” caregiver status, etc. Th e MCC also contin- ued its engagement and leadership role with the 5 Boro Chamber Alliance in working together to strengthen the voice of New York City small busi- nesses, and expanding our Coalition to include 40 industry organizations representing small businesses. Together, the chambers held our inaugural 5 Boro Chamber of Commerce MWBE Awards Ceremony in January. MCC’s Annual Fall Business Awards Breakfast was held on Nov. 13th, sponsored by Wells Fargo and hosted by Con Edison. It was another suc- cessful event honoring New York City business men and women who make a diff erence in our beloved city including producer Jeff rey Seller whose big hit “Hamilton” is breaking Broadway ticket sales records. Th e Young Professionals’, Women’s, Green/Sustainability, LGBT, Entre- preneurship, and Technology and Innovation Networks continue to grow through quarterly meetings, events and shared knowledge with other orga- nizations in similar fi elds. In addition, the MCC off ered a terrifi c Executive Series to help build leadership skill sets for CEOs and C suite executives.
