Scissurra of Chamber speaks at Brooklyn Bridge Rotary
In many categories, Brooklyn is a leader not only within the metropolitan area but in the world, said Carlo Scissura, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.
However, he said, Brooklynites should realize that although Downtown Brooklyn is the commercial and civic center of the borough, Brooklyn isn’t just Downtown. ‘Brooklyn doesn’t look like me,” said Scissura. “It looks like every one of us.”
He was speaking to a meeting of the Brooklyn Bridge Rotary Club at the Archives Restaurant at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott on Thursday. The club, founded in 2011, is comprised of business and professional leaders in the greater Downtown area.
