Past Events
During the April 2024 meeting, HBA board member Kimberly Gilgeours led a discussion with Kendro Benjamin on the financial struggles that business owners face. They went over some useful resources that business owners can use to assist in their endeavors. A few of these resources include:
Small Business Development Center at Stony Brook University
Farmingdale State College Small Business Development Center
SCORE
Baruch’s Small Business Development Center
Pace University Small Business Development Center
Kimberly introduced the group to the TWC Network app, which gives its users access to financial tools, courses, and events to help them on their journey. It also features a networking platform for like-minded individuals looking to succeed in their financial goals.
Our March meeting was a great opportunity to share ways the healthcare system could improve. We welcomed Dr. Bruce L. Feldman of FeldMed who explained how the healthcare system is broken because of limited and shortened access to providers, how many of the traditional tests providers administer are unnecessary, and how alternative treatment programs and the standard insurance model could improve the system. He also talked about the mind-body connection and how you can’t heal one without healing the other.
