The Best in Networking and
Helping the Community
It’s hard
to believe
that B&P’s
inaugural
season is
wrapping
up. Apparently, time really does fly
when you’re having fun. In just a
matter of months, B&P has grown
from an inspiring idea into a dynamic
community. Word is that we offer
South Palm Beach County’s premier
networking opportunities. And it’s true!
We thank each and every one of our
Cabinet Members who really stepped
up and, in less than a year, redefined
the concept of business networking!
Through the energy, enthusiasm
and commitment of our Cabinet and
participants, B&P has emerged as an
incredible vehicle to make powerful
connections - not only for business, but
also for the well-being of our neighbors
and our people.
B&P CABINET makes it happen
The B&P cabinet represents a wide range of professions, backgrounds and
stages of life, but these visionaries share a commitment to the well-being
of our community and our people. Their enthusiasm, skill and generosity
have launched and grown this new division beyond expectation. Together,
they’ve spread the joy and satisfaction of building one’s business while
helping meet vital human needs throughout the community.
“The wonderful cause and tremendous need are what got me to donate my money
to Federation. The great people are what got me to donate my time. The great
networking opportunities and learning experiences I get at the B&P and Federation
events are what keep me involved and inspire me to do even more to help.”
- Eric Lebersfeld, Capitol Lighting
“After being out of the Federation loop for quite some time, I fell upon an Icon event
which I fully enjoyed. It brought me back, and I am enjoying my role with the B&P Cabinet.
It’s good to connect with old friends while making new connections and helping
the Jewish community both here and overseas.”
- Lauren Cohen, Esq., Business Plans by the Write Professionals
“Our move here wasn’t going to be permanent. Then I toured the Federation campus,
met the B&P Director and others. As the new feeling of being part of something very
special grew, we decided to expand our business and make the move permanent.
Joining B&P was a great first step to meet other successful professionals and business
owners who share our commitment to the community.”
- Howard N. Silverstein, Choice Employee Benefits Group LLC
2012-13 B&P Cabinet
We’re looking ahead to another
amazing year with exciting new Icon
Events and more in the works. It will
be hard to top our first season, but we
believe in aiming high. And we hope
you’ll join us.
Sincerely and successfully yours,
Gary Lesser
