issues that impact Albanian-Americans and our communities. The Albanians for a Better New York PAC will support those in elected office and those seeking to be elected that understand our issues and fight for our needs.
• Federation of Albanian American Businesses – It is time for Albanian-American business owners and entrepreneurs to unite and cooperate. Such cooperation will result in the law of large numbers benefitting our businesses and our people. Regardless of the industry we are in, Albanians need to unite to obtain more attractive terms from their suppliers, external partners or stakeholders. Initially, by unifying business owners in the restaurant, real estate and construction industries, we will be able to establish a general fund where proceeds from part of the savings will be used to help our community by offering scholarships, helping the less fortunate, and addressing the overall needs of our community. • Albanian-American Financial Institution – I am exploring the creation of a partnership with a banking institution that will meet the needs of and benefit our businesses and community.
• Albanian American Calendar – Our growing and active community has many overlapping events and activities. My solution is a community calendar for all to share and list their activities, events and information. I have created a universal web portal for all Albanian-American related events and activities which can be found at www.albanian-american.org .
The time to act is now! Share the vision, get involved, and make a difference for yourself, our community, our children and our future!
