Business Council of Westchester Explores 'Business Side of Politics'

From the Business Council of Westchester:

Political campaigns are a big business, generating billions annually for everything from advertising to direct mail to polling. That was the focus of a highly informative program presented by The Business Council of Westchester in partnership with Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. (HVEDC) that explored the business side of politics. Called “The Business of Politics”, program featured an impressive panel of political campaign experts that included Evan Stavisky of The Parkside Group; Bill O'Reilly of The November Team and former U.S. Congressman Tim Bishop. Co-moderators were BCW Executive Vice President and COO John Ravitz and Laurence Gottlieb, President and CEO of HVEDC. The program was held May 5 at Pace University in Pleasantville.
