West Boca News invited the West Boca Chamber to submit articles. Here is their first one:
The new board of directors for the West Boca Chamber of Commerce gave the community a glimpse of what to expect this year during its first monthly breakfast of 2014. With new motivational speakers as part of the Chamber’s new “Silver Speaker” program along with new fun, engaging networking events that promote business and friendship within our community in a professional setting, the Chamber has increased the energy and overall vitality of the organization this year.
Boca Greens Country Club made for a perfect setting as Senior Sales Executive of the Miami Marlins; Orestes Hernandez led the members attending the February breakfast in networking exercises that have helped him develop over $21 million in revenue for the Marlins franchise. “Members found themselves making connections to a web of businesses they didn’t even know they had access to” said Katie Lizana, Vice-Chairman of the Chamber.
By incorporating ideas and techniques that Orestes shared with the group, the ripple effect has continued to be felt throughout the chamber.
The West Boca Chamber is deeply honored to announce our “Silver Speaker” for the March Chamber Breakfast as Jack Bornstein, WWII Veteran who at one time found himself caught behind enemy lines, injured during the Battle of the Bulge and a witness to the liberation of German concentration camps.
As a Jewish soldier during that time, Jack learned the value of relationships and their importance in all aspects of survival, life and even business.
