Many TMA Nevada members have discussed wanting to make a difference in the challenging economic times facing Las Vegas. When you take the resorts and gaming out of the mix, Las Vegas is a small business community that is hurting. Many of us have discussed how can we help small business, how can we create a dynamic and responsive educational system and how can we help guide the legislature to create a budget that provides for growth and fiscal stability. We also have agreed that, in order to plan for a positive future, we need to create a community where diverse businesses would want to locate, and where their employees will want to settle and grow families.

So, how can we help? Well, perhaps timing is everything...

The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce recently hired an executive from New York, Matt Crosson, as its new president and CEO. For the previous 16 years, Matt provided vision and leadership to the Long Island Association, Inc. With over 5,000 members, the LIA is the largest business and civic association in New York. Matt is credited with leading the turnaround of the Long Island economy in the face of challenging economic times, when a major downsizing at Northrop Gruman Corporation resulted in a loss of more than 100,000 jobs in the area.

Please join TMA Nevada as we meet Matt Crosson and learn what he did for Long Island, and what he plans to do in Las Vegas. Perhaps, in his thoughts, those of us who want to make a difference will find an opportunity to do so.

Harrah's Entertainment is a proud sponsor of this evening.
