January 2007 On-Line Newsletter
 

Message from the President and CEO
Patrick J. MacKrell
 

Dear Friends,

The New Year is well underway and we wish you the best for a very successful 2007! 

We are in the planning process for our 2007 Staff Retreat.  This year's theme is "User Friendly."  Please help us become a more effective partner by emailing your comments and suggestions to me at mackrell@nybdc.com.

Did you notice our new 504 logo?  As of January 23, 2007, Empire State Certified Development Corporation (somtimes confused with Empire State Development Corporation) began doing business as "The 504 Company."

It is our mission to promote the growth of the New York State economy and to create and retain jobs.  In this month's Lender's Corner, Curt Solomon writes about SBA financing for small businesses which are owned by foreign nationals (other than those with permanent resident alien status) and/or foreign entities.  

You can read about a very successful project featuring two brothers who obtained SBA financing in the  Success Story of the Month.  It coincides with our mission of assisting minority owned businesses and working with economic development groups in our communities to promote growth.

Diane McDonald is featured this month in our  Employee Spotlight and in our News Highlights.

This month we continue our Partner Page with a submission from one of our community partners, the New York State Small Business Development Center.

In addition to the December  2006 Loan Approvals contained in this edition of the newsletter, a list of all loans approved during our recently concluded fiscal year and prior issues of our electronic newsletter are available on our website www.nybdc.com.

Finally, please review the announcement for the 9th Annual Small Business Excellence Awards luncheons in Albany and Syracuse on our Upcoming Events page. 

Your ideas, thoughts and opinions are always welcome and encouraged.  Please take a moment to let us know what you think about our newsletter and website. Your ideas on how to improve our newsletter and website would be greatly appreciated.  Please send those to lcouture@nybdc.com.

Sincerely,

 Pat
