For some the pitch about joining Gotham involves business opportunities.  Members seek to sell their services or wares.  That may be a primary reason to network.  But for this member who complains not at all about business opportunities here, I submit Gotham offers much more. As many know here I chair the board of a senior agency.  Two fellow boar

Tunes to enjoy this holiday season
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Each Thanksgiving I check to see when I blogged the prior year about music for the holiday season.  That we often begin to hear that music when families gather the last Thursday in November is what brings my Holiday Music Playlist to mind.  The only thing that delays that blog is the need to timely report  this year’s Gotham Green Award® winners an

GOtham GREEN® continues a tradition recognizing worthy initiatives and businesses
Posted By : Corey Bearak

Early in my career I enjoyed opportunities to work to enact major environmental initiatives including “The NYC Recycling Law,” the “Spill Bill,” mandating cleanup of accidental releases of hazardous substances or assessing three times the cost of any cleanup performed by the City of New York (The Hazardous Substance Emergency Response Law - 1987 Lo

A Gotham mantra – it’s better to give than receive...” – takes a special meaning as next month begins. Not just because Gotham approaches a countdown to when our tribe announces the recipient charities of its annual Season of Giving. In just over two weeks, the first Tuesday, after Thanksgiving, that’s Tuesday, December 3, this year 2024, Giving Tu

Tomorrow Celebrate Our Earth

Some readers of this commentary surely know the significance of tomorrow. Tomorrow we observe Earth Day. On “X” – formerly twitter (Oh how I wish Mr. Musk would restore that name and much more to that “platform”) – I saw hashtags #EarthDay, #EarthDay2024 and #EarthDay24; take your pick; I expect to use at least two of the three. The environment mat

A classy action

For several months, I’ve been meeting via Zoom with like-minded folks who oppose the imposition of a toll-tax (aka congestion pricing) to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street. Late last year, as other concerned folks and groups joined our weekly Zooms, those gathered decided to hire a lawyer and explore bringing a lawsuit. The group chose a name an

In 2012, Gotham added its Red Bandana Award, in addition to its annual Networker of the Year Award (initiated in 2004).

Both awards, announced at Gotham’s Annual Holiday Party, can only be won once and gain entry in to the hallowed G

As the week began I received an email from my friend and Gotham colleague Amparo Connors who runs an employee placement firm (temps and permanent); Amparo reached out to those she usually sends holiday/season’s greetings/ new year wishes concerning the intended token. Our discussion led me to suggest that topic for the joint meeting of Gotham Queen

When I started to use Zoom, the inability to use virtual backgrounds for my meeting gnawed at me. When I upgrade “Early 2015” MacBook Pro late last year, I looked forward to using virtual backgrounds and uploaded images that reflected the organization involved in the Zoom. I have images for SNAP (Services Now for Adult Persons) where I chair th
