Scissura takes reins of Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
The future is looking rosy at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce where lifelong Brooklynite Carlo A. Scissura has just taken the reins as president and CEO.
Scissuras tenure at the chamber began officially on September 1, and he promises to take the Chamber and borough businesses and workers forward toward what he describes as the prize more jobs in Brooklyn, more economic growth in Brooklyn, not only in the neighborhoods that have seen economic growth in recent years but also in those areas that have lagged behind.
I think one of the challenges and one of the exciting opportunities is to look at this borough as one, Scissura told this newspaper. We have great local development organizations, great merchants associations, great Business Improvement Districts. We have to bring it all together.
