Bug Off Pest Control Center

The Business Leadership Cruise, July 28, 2009

On July 28, 2009, over 100 attendees enjoyed a magical cruise on New York’s majestic Hudson and East Rivers. We set sail on “The Star” on Pier 40 enjoying views of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, the USS Intrepid, the Brooklyn Bridge, South Street Seaport, the United Nations, the George Washington Bridge and The Palisades. Along the way, we received crucial business lessons from Norm Cooper on “Lessons of a Lifetime in Pest Control”, Dean Stanbridge on “Technology Solutions for the PMP”, plus an open forum, case studies and peer reviews by our panelists Norm Cooper, Dean Stanbridge, PMP Magazine’s Pete Grasso and Andy Linares. The “Star” was emblazoned with banners from many of our sponsors offering New Yorkers a singular sight as it worked its way around Manhattan island. Attendees enjoyed food and drink and many of our sponsors exhibited their products at their booths.
