Members Had a Blast At The 73rd-Annual Bernie Cohn Golf Classic
|
It was a dry, but windy day for the 73rd-Annual Bernie Cohn Golf Classic on May 23 at
Forsgate
Country Club in Monroe.
Members play a game of bean-bag toss
Once again, the Chamber dedicated the outing to a man whose magnetism, enthusiasm and his "going out of the way" approach led to his success in business and charitable work. Cohn was active with the MCRCC and is the former Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chair of the Golf Classic. He was also a recipient of the first Leaders of Distinction Award.
Cohn's gift was connecting many not-for-profit organizations with business leaders and foundations, even in his retirement.
On this day especially, we remember our friend and the love he had for the game of golf.

Each year the annual golf classic serves as an opportunity for business and community leaders in Middlesex County to connect while supporting the Chamber's efforts to improve consistently and create new opportunities.
There was plenty of networking on and off the course for members and sponsors.
All golfers enjoyed lunch before hitting the links and returned to the clubhouse for a delicious dinner. Each hole even had a game for members to enjoy, whether a bean-bag toss or a marshmallow tee off.
It was all pretty cool to watch!

Mayor Daniel Reiman of Carteret and Mayor Wilda Diaz of Perth Amboy addressed such topics as arts & culture, travel & tourism, going green/sustainability, and economic development.
Mayor Diaz talked about the importance of the business community in her community, and how leaders come together to promote Perth Amboy and the county. Mayor Diaz also stressed the need for a strong, dedicated team to help implement many of the business development projects that originate in the mayor's office.
Mayor Reiman agreed about the importance of supporting the local business community, talking proudly about many new and exciting plans in Carteret's business district and along the waterfront.
Bert Baron, talk show host for WCTC-AM in New Brunswick, was the moderator of this year's event.
The Chamber thanks Baron for his ongoing support of our programming.

Berkeley College Is A
Dedicated Chamber Member
|
T
wo decades. That is how long Berkeley College has been a member of the Middlesex County Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Jaime Pardo, a Career Services Counselor at Berkeley College, said the members within the chamber are one of the reasons Berkeley College has been a member themselves for so long.
"The MCRCC members are honestly the best," Pardo said. "There are always new and existing members that make contributions to the MCRCC community which enhances the networking experience with quality and memorable events.
"And we obviously cannot forget about the staff," Pardo added. "The MCRCC has the best team that is always there for their members and puts on great events, especially events to get to know other businesses and professionals within Middlesex County."
Pardo recalled that they came out with new partnerships, meaningful learning experiences and quality connections at most events Berkeley College attended.
One of Pardo's goals is to connect new and existing employers to hire and offer internships to
his students and alumni. That is exactly what the chamber provides for their members, a networking opportunity that opens doors.
"I learn and gain a lot from the chamber," said Pardo "I get to meet hard-working, amazing professionals that I hope to introduce to my talented, graduating alumni so I can direct them into meaningful careers."
Berkeley College was established in 1931 as a secretarial school
and today is a regionally accredited college providing excellence in teaching and learning through a student-focused approach to career education.
Berkeley College offers Bachelor's and Associate's degrees, Certificate programs, and non-degree professional courses at campuses in New Jersey, New York and through Berkeley College Online. A Master of Business Administration degree is offered in Woodland Park, NJ, and Online. Today, more than 7,000 students study at campuses in New York and New Jersey, plus Berkeley College Online®. Of those, more than 350 are international students representing over 50 countries.
