“Last year, more than 400 businesspeople and community leaders attended our County Executive Breakfast and got some of the inside story about how officials planned to tackle problems in the county,” said Amy Allen, managing director, Advocacy and International Business, WCA. “As 2013 is an election year, anyone following the County Executive race should take this unique opportunity to ask the CE directly about the issues that matter most to taxpayers and businesspeople.”
According to Allen, the County Executive will discuss the economic challenges facing Westchester, as well as steps being taken to ensure that Westchester County retains its Triple A credit rating. Mr. Astorino will also answer questions from the audience.
The event, which is sponsored by: ENT & Allergy Associates, Con Edison, CohnReznick, O'Connor Davies, POMCO Group, Search Smart Marketing and the Westchester Marriott, is open to the public. Tickets are $75.00 for WCA members and $90.00 for each future member and include continental breakfast. Advance reservations online are required for this event at westchester.org.

On February 15, the WCA will also host a Political Friday event with New Rochelle Mayor and County Executive Democratic Candidate Noam Bramson.
