    - Pope Benedict XVI SPE Salvi Encyclical "In Hope We Are Saved" Nov. 30 2007

    News and Announcements

    Website
    CBNMC is undergoing major renovations behind the scenes with the website and the database of members. In the near future, CBN members will be able to personally maintain and update their contact information and CBN will be able to accept secure credit card payments for events. Stay tuned for updates.

    Thanks to Holy Cross & American Office
    CBN can only make a difference thanks to the support of members stepping up to the Leadership Sponsorship, and this year we thank
    Holy Cross Hospital and American Office. By moving into this category, they increase their support to Catholic Schools and presence within CBN.

    2007 Gala Smashing Success
    After a sold out crowd showed to support their nominees from the schools and the CBN Business Person of the year for 2007 Ed Quinn, CBN raised more money for the need based scholarships and school grants than any year prior. We raised $15000 on just the scholarship live auction item thanks to the great work by our auctioneer Rob Smith and the many folks who saw the benefit of pledging 100, 250, and 500 to the campaign. Thank you to all our members and attendees for making Catholic education within reach, at even the elementary level.

    2008 Invoices Coming
    Invoices for membership are in process, and now's a great time to consider stepping up to become a Leadership Sponsor. By doing so, you provide a scholarship in your company name with CBN to an 8th Grade Scholarship Winner at the annual Scholarship Luncheon. In addition, breakfasts are pre-paid, you can choose between the Luncheon Events or the Golf Tournament, and reserve your recognition at the Gala. Contact peg@CBNMC.com.

    Speakers
    Our speaker in January was John Jacobs. John is the Executive Vice-President of the NASDAQ stock market. He provided an overview of the history of the NYSE and the NASDAQ. John shared how the brand of NASDAQ has been built and why more companies are choosing to list and stay with NASDAQ. No longer the "farm team", major players in business are staying with NASDAQ. John provided great insight about where the market's going in 2008: Up, and down, and at sometimes flat.

    CBN invites members to recommend speakers on a variety of topics of interest to you and your business. Currently, CBN is lining up speakers from both government and industry to help our members deal with the ever changing marketplace, while living their Catholic Values. Call Matt Carroccio if you have a speaker you would like considered at 202-861-5123.

    Where Are They Now

    Did you know that one of our former speakers at CBN, former Lt. Governor and Senate Candidate Michael Steele has joined the Board of Directors with CBN member Harvest Bank? In addition, he has engaged Tony Cuozzo and Councilor, Buchanan & Mitchell, P.C. for professional advisory services. Our speakers give more than good advice, they shape the future of business.
