Reflecting on the importance of effective communication

There are moments throughout your career where you significantly benefit from the power of effective communication and human contact.  Throughout the past several days, I gathered an impressive perspective towards the need that Puerto Rico has in building their overall economy.  From meetings in the White House, to personally visiting the island; the message of inclusion and equality is clear.

     Representing New World Group Advocacy with Jerry Weller and Dave Miller, we meet key members of Congress with the Puerto Rican Private Sector Coalition to discuss numerous pressing topics.  At the top of the agenda: tax reform legislation to create jobs for Puerto Rico.  We also effectively communicated the need for changes to the Medicaid Cliff and are fortunate to proceed with briefings to satisfy our ongoing research.

     Later in Old San Juan, I had the opportunity to interact with former colleagues and multiple business leaders sharing the same vision.  Attending the Bienvenido Reception for Congressman Sean Duffy allowed for a gracious conclusion to the visit.  Our efforts in gathering equitable results for the beautiful island of Puerto Rico are solidified by the simplicity of the human contact and I am eager to see fruitful results in the very near future.
