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.
