New York & New Jersey Minority Supplier Development Council Presents Train Ride to Success: Networking on the Railroad on Friday, September 14
New York, NY, September 12, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The New York & New Jersey Minority Supplier Development Council (The Council) takes networking on the road on Friday, September 14 when corporate supplier diversity executives and minority business owners ride a New Jersey Transit train to New Brunswick at the annual “Train Ride to Success.”
The Council’s highly anticipated annual event kicks-off at New York Penn Station at 9:30am when the New York group meets to board the reserved railroad car. “Train Ride to Success” event concludes at 3:00pm in New Brunswick.
At “Train Ride to Success,” the train departs from New York Penn Station and New Jersey attendees enter the networking car along the New Jersey Transit railroad stops to New Brunswick. Attendees move throughout the train car meeting and greeting, exchanging business cards, and exploring ideas. The networking extravaganza’s highlight is a luncheon at New Brunswick’s elegant Delta Restaurant, a posh African American council-certified business.
“The unique ‘Train Ride to Success’ is one of The Council’s most popular annual events,” said Lynda Ireland, president & CEO, The Council. “The informal networking on the train ride allows for more extensive ‘face-time’ than is afforded in other venues. Over the years, minority businesses have developed corporate relationships at this event that have lead to contracts.”
Tickets for “Train Ride to Success” range from $100 - $150.
Sponsors include The Council’s corporate members Adecco, BNY Mellon, Citi, Colgate-Palmolive, Con Edison, Johnson & Johnson, Macy’s Inc., Mindshare, Morgan Stanley, New York Life, PepsiCo, Prudential, and Verizon. Highmark is the corporate chair for “Train Ride to Success.”
