The Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce today hosted the second edition of its Brooklyn Economic Exchange – or BKEX – series event, featuring the City’s Department Small Business Services (SBS) Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer, who addressed a packed room on her vision for small business and the goals she has for her administration.
Held in at Borough Hall, in partnership with the Brooklyn Borough President’s Office, BKEX is our quarterly convening of BIDS, LDCs, and other economic interests throughout the borough. The purpose is to give a forum for interaction between organizations that are on the ground doing economic development, business support and promotion, and the heads of government agencies on both the City and the State level that are guiding and creating policy and implementing programs that impact our organizations and Brooklyn’s economy.
