STATEMENT BY BROOKLYN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PRESIDENT AND CEO CARLO A. SCISSURA AND BOARD CHAIR DENISE ARBESU ON THE APPOINTMENT OF MARTY MARKOWITZ AS VICE PRESIDENT OF BOROUGH PROMOTION FOR NYC & COMPANY
"Congratulations to my former boss and Brooklyn's longtime champion Marty Markowitz on his new job as Vice President of Borough Promotion and Engagement at NYC and Co. Some of our greatest restaurant owners are quietly weeping, but we are thrilled that Marty will be spending time in Staten Island, Queens and the Bronx. What he has done for our borough he will do for the other three inner-boroughs as well."
Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO, Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce
"Marty has always led the charge to expand New York City's tourism beyond Midtown Manhattan and bring economic benefits into our neighborhoods. We thank the DeBlasio administration for appointing Marty to this position. Marty is a fantastic ambassador and we are excited he will still be working for Brooklyn. He will have a tremendous impact on the entire City of New York."
