SUMMARY:Judy McEvoy "Stony Brook The Economic Engine of Long Island"
DESCRIPTION: This morning our speaker\, Stony Brook’s Economic Development Assoc VP\, Judy McEvoy\, gave us an enlightening insight on the impact of the university on Long Island. For example\, the hospital supplies bills accounts for $300 million in purchases. The vast majority of those dollars are spent on Long Island. There is a total of $200 million pledged from government to pay for the wireless technology efforts at Stony Brook. This commitment will have a serious impact on the fortunes of the university and Brookhaven National labs which is partnering with Stony Brook.Stony Brook is also involved with workforce training. The needs of industry for special training are often not readily available without the help of the school. These and other aspects of the Stony Brook’s impact on the Long Island economy are impressive\, and most of us are hardly aware of the importance of this positive impact.After the close of the meeting LIMBA’s Education Committee met. Today the discussion was to identify the most pressing reform needs and what would be the best approach to address those needs Finally\, we established that the members would build a telephone chain to encourage people to attend. This is important because our speakers have a reasonable expectation of having a substantial audience.

SUMMARY:Richard Kessel
DESCRIPTION:   Well\, It was another stellar performance by our speaker this morning. Richard Kessel addressed LIMBA today. The volume of information that Richie can intelligently present is remarkable.    Richie spoke about the mainland link to New Jersey (Neptune) which is almost completely permitted with final approvement expected next month. He also brought us up to date on the Connecticut link that has been reenergized on a permanent basis\, through the political intervention of our senators\, Clinton and Schumer.    We also got an overview of alternative energy efforts including a huge solar photovoltaic application in Huntington. Fuel Cells in Babylon\, and education efforts training craft people in installation of renewables at SUNY Farmingdale.    Kessel spoke about the bond rating improvements. And he also gave us a sobering assessment of the potential for lengthy outages in the event of a hurricane.    There was actually a lot more\, but I can’t scribble that fast.    The Q&A period gave the audience an opportunity to ask a lot of questions on the topics discussed by Kessel\, and a few that were not. We extended the meeting 10 minutes as the questions were many.    In attendance we had union officials Ralph Ranghelli and Everett Lewis\, Suffolk County legislator Angie Carpenter. LIPA people including Bert Cunningham and others and Keyspan was represented by Vincent Frigeria. The attendance was good and in addition to those already mentioned there were many old friends in the audience. Thanks to all for coming and making this such a successful meeting.    We are now discounting the gate. Any member that would like to purchase a 10 meeting certificate can do so by paying $85. Non members can purchase a 10 meeting certificate for $130    Next week our speaker is former Dale Carnegie president\, Stuart Levine. Mr. Levine now heads up his own company Stuart Levine Associates. His knowledge of business communication is extensive and he is an enjoyable speaker to listen to.

SUMMARY:Stuart Levine
DESCRIPTION:This morning our speaker\, Stuart Levine\, made an excellent presentation on fundamentals of successful business dealings. Hearing about the “fundamentals” may sound corny to the jaded\, but it is all grounded in principles that most of us do\, or did\, subscribe to. According Mr. Levine the our primary goal is to “add value.” Bringing to the business environment such values as\, integrity\, and appreciation for the efforts of others\, and investing in relationships. This all sounds too simple to be true\, but it is this very simplicity that makes it true. Stuart referenced a passage from a book written by Keyspan Chairman Bob Catell. In his book Catell refers to the union president Ralph Ranghelli as a “partner.” A term\, according to Levine\, that is entirely appropriate. Each man protecting his own interests have a larger mission to make things work for all of the stakeholders for the long term. During the Q&A session there was a question about rehabilitating a corrupt corporate culture such as existed in Enron’s accountants\, Arthur Anderson. Levine answered by saying it could have been\, and should have been resurrected under a new CEO and a fresh board of directors. Stuart’s wife Harriet was there too and she commented on how insightful the questions were. I agree\, we provide our speakers with a good audience. I thank our knowledgeable\, and well versed speaker\, and all who participated in the Q&A.

SUMMARY:Assemblywoman\,  Pat Acompora
DESCRIPTION: This morning’s speaker\, Assemblywoman Patricia Acompora\, began the meeting by referring to the dysfunctional operations of Albany. If you recall\, in a recent LIMBA meeting\, assemblyman Steve Englebright spent considerable time on that topic. This indicates to me that this not a partisan issue. Not enough has been said outside of Albany\, but it looks like the attitude among the legislators is\, enough is enough. Good! Ms. Acompora has been trying for some time to establish an Empire Zone in Nassau County\, but has not been getting the required support from Mr. Gargano. A big frustration for a person that prides herself with achieving goals. The rules on shipping interstate the wines produced on Long Island have hampered the growth of that industry. The rules put LI wines at a disadvantage. Acompora has been working on that too.Another topic is the proposed closing of the “air wing” at Gabreski Airport in West Hampton. This aircraft support has been very useful for rescue work and civil emergencies\, and could be helpful in the event of terror attacks. She wants it to continue to functionHank Boerner was in the audience and asked about advancing coordinated transportation facilities. Pat said that kind of visionary thinking is the outcome that will be the result from several initiatives she is interested in. The assemblywoman has a litany of achieved goals. It is to her credit that she chose to speak about what needs to be done\, as opposed to\, what has been done.The audience thanked her and we gave her the traditional LIMBA mug.
