CLIENT: Center City Proprietors Association
 EVENT:
Lunch with City Leaders

Bard Associates Inc. created the “Lunch with City Leaders” for Center City Proprietors Association (CCPA) to give small business owners an unprecedented, direct access to government, business, cultural and community leaders. Launched with the Philadelphia Business Journal and the Prime Rib restaurant, the series is now in its second successful year, holding weekly lunches, each with a featured speaker, and an always lively question and answer period.

Center City Proprietors Association is the small business association of Philadelphia, representing 500 retailers, restaurateurs, doctors, lawyers, accountants, and myriad business and consumer service providers and consultants. “Lunch with City Leaders,” while designed for CCPA members, is also open to the general public, and as such, has also served as a marketing vehicle for new membership development.
