As an active member of EANYC, I have had the advantage of being able to utilize numerous companies that are on the membership roster to aid in the selling and buying process of Manhattan real estate. Our customers have come to appreciate our added network of these quality vendors we’ve recommended through the years.

The Execs has been a powerful networking tool for us.

On consecutive nights I received a Hat from Sirius Satellite Radio while attending a Knicks and a Rangers Games.  The next week I made an announcement at lunch and asked for a referral into Sirius.  One of our members played in a weekly golf game with the CFO.  And soon after we were introduced to the marketing department.  Within 2 months we worked on their Superbowl Project valued at 100K+.  Which is a substantial project for the ad-specialty/promotional products industry.

A member asked our firm to analyze the group's medical plan. I introduced a separate insurer for the hourly population and a much more efficient prescription drug plan for the owner/management segment. This saved the firm well into 5 figures annually and earned me a long term client (they're now adding a voluntary insurance program) and a strong spokesperson from The Association. This process of continual learning and exploring our respective businesses make us more attuned to doing direct business and to referring prospects from our many spheres of influence. Optimally, we serve as extended sales forces for each other and strongly "stand by" each other as references.

EANYC is not only the best organized and most effective networking organization in New York, participating in its weekly lunches at the Harvard Club and its cocktail parties at interesting venues throughout NYC is a very enjoyable experience. The members couldn't be friendlier and take their obligation to refer business to other members with a high priority. As an immigration attorney in NYC, many members have gone out of their way to not only introduce their employees who needed help with US work visas, but have also referred to me friends, business associates and family members who needed assistance with various US immigration matters. During my first few months of membership, the fees I was paid far exceeded the cost of the annual membership.

Paul Neumann of Neumann's (one of New Yorks premier caterers) referred me to a client who was purchasing a rent stabilized building.  After performing due diligence and closing on the purchase, the firm was retained to litigate against several of the tenants.

The client then employed Rosenberg & Estis to assist him in the purchase of The Pines, a resort located on Fire Island.  This complex and heavily publicized transaction, which also involved the purchase of various business assets, was successfully completed in 2010.

The client continues to emply the firm for various real estate matters, demonstrating how for EANYC members, business relationships often lead to other business relationships.

To me EANYC represents the gold standard in face-to-face business networking.

The relationships I've developed through EA--and the International Executives' Association--are powerful. They broaden my global reach,  keep me connected to what's important,  and allow me to give back by mentoring and helping others grow their businesses.

Beyond these rewards, I've found that membership more than pays for itself in other ways.  My involvement makes me a more effective lawyer, leader, and trusted adviser, and consistently enables me to expand what's possible.

Mass Megawatts Announces $1 Million New York Project Sale

WORCESTER, Mass., April 7, 2009 / PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX

Mass Megawatts Wind Power, Inc.(OTC Bulletin Board: MMGW) developer of the MAT (Multiaxis Turbosystem) today announced the sale of a 500 kW wind power project in New York State for $1 million. The group purchasing the 500 kW MATS wind power project is headed by Catherine and Daniel Donnelly, principals of Donnelly Mechanical, the major New York City based HVAC and mechanical provider.

In addition to the recent sale, Mass Megawatts plans to interconnect the 90 kW unit for the U.S. Army at Fort Huachuca in Arizona to the utility grid within the next week. The 90 kW unit that was originally planned as a 50 kW unit has been cleared for interconnection as a 90 kW unit.

"Donnelly Mechanical has been moving very quickly into the space of providing sustainable energy solutions for New York City businesses, and this initial wind power project, along with our participation to accelerate the manufacturing and distribution of Mass Megawatts' MAT technology throughout New York State, is a natural progression," a Donnelly Family spokesperson said in a prepared statement.

With the founding of the 'New York City Green Team,' a broadly based coalition of the City's construction trade, engineering and architectural firms, Catherine and Daniel Donnelly have become leading proponents of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's vision to make New York the United States' most sustainable metropolis.

Donnelly Mechanical's newly formed Sustainable Energy Services has consolidated the Company's established competencies in energy procurement, management and conservation services, along with renewable energy solutions into one division.

The Donnelly's had followed Mass Megawatts' development of the Multiaxis Turbosystem and Augmenter over the course of time, and, as the newly introduced technologies were commercialized, entered into formal negotiations with Mass Megawatts, resulting in the 500 kW purchase and the strategic alliance for the introduction of these new wind power technologies, including an advanced version of the Mass Megawatts Wind Augmenter (Patent Pending), into the New York marketplace.

This breakthrough augmenter technology, now incorporated in all MAT models, enables electricity to be produced at a lower cost than any other wind turbine manufacturer, while making it directly competitive with fossil fuel generation.

A recognized leader in New York's business community, Donnelly Mechanical was listed in 2008 as one of the 'Best 50 Companies to Work for in New York' by Crain's New York Business, along with Microsoft Corporation, Rand Engineering, Cushman & Wakefield, Goldman Sachs, Loews Regency Hotels and other national enterprise level firms.

Donnelly Mechanical is also a construction partner and major provider for many of the country's preeminent companies, including JP Morgan, Apple, Bank of America, Reuters, Major League Baseball, Disney / ABC and Microsoft.

With senior staff members LEED certified by the US Green Building Council and a reputation as 'New York's Green Mechanical Company,' the Donnelly's entry into the renewable energy markets was viewed as part of a grander strategy by sources close to the company.

Peter Cucci, a New Jersey based architect and renewable energy consultant, who represents a number of parties engaged in discussions with Mass Megawatts, released a statement that read, in part, "New York possesses one of the Eastern United States' most productive wind resources, and much of it lies within 150 miles of New York City. Catherine and Daniel Donnelly were very savvy in their recognition of the environmental and economic synergies that regional wind power can bring to their New York City client base. They are esteemed leaders in New York's 'true green' community, and this agreement really puts Donnelly light years ahead of anyone else in the Metropolitan Region. The investors I represent are eager to engage in a shared vision with them."

The technology of low profile and height is completely acceptable in communities where 200 foot towers are fought tooth and nail. Townships across New York State that have commercial grade wind resources which can bring them economic prosperity often don't want to face the loss of view and the myriad of problems the big towers present.

The introduction of the commercialized MAT technology in New York State has the potential of having a profoundly positive impact for many communities, beginning with New York City, but, just as importantly, reaching into the rural areas of the State. The investment group is in discussions now with the industrial development corporations of two upstate counties regarding the placement of a manufacturing facility within one of their footprints, which will mean the creation of fabrication and installation jobs, along with sales, operations and administrative positions.

Over the next year, the MAT will be brought to NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research Development Agency) for certification under the Agency's incentive plan for wind installers.

In a statement released to local media, Daniel Donnelly, stated that "New York City has some of the highest priced electricity in the Country, while at the same time we have tremendous wind resource along our shorelines and in our nearby mountain regions. Whether we provide our clients with opportunities for long term wind-based power purchase agreements, direct ownership in wind farms to provide physical hedges that protect them from rising prices, or make renewable energy credits available to them to fulfill goals of sustainability and environmental stewardship, we are certain that the new wind power technology will be a big step in bringing the dream of an energy independent America, with cleaner air and purer water, closer to a reality."
