International Business Council of the Meadowlands Breakfast Series
Andrea Schrager, Leadership Advisory Council Member and President of Meadowlands Consumer Center Inc., would like to share an article that is scheduled to appear in the Meadowlands USA Magazine. Ms. Schrager is Chair of the International Business Council of the Meadowlands Regional Chamber. In just ten months, the Council has hosted two breakfast events, with a third scheduled in May. The Council is also in the midst of planning a Symposium in September. The reception has been extremely positive and Ms. Schrager believes that there are Members of the Leadership Advisory Council as well as Seton Hall students who would find attending to be of value, not only for the learning but for networking with business owners. More information about the next event details and rates will be released soon.
More information about the Council is as follows:
