President's Letter

Howard M. Silverstone

Howard M. Silverstone, MBE, CPA, FCA
President
British American Business Council of Greater Philadelphia

Dear BABCPHL Members and Friends,

Happy new year! January is well underway, and we are actively embarking on a new calendar year of operations. I am pleased to be returning to the role of President for a third, non-consecutive term.

Michael Jordan once said, “Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” In his role as my predecessor, Nick Lotz expertly guided us around and through challenges posed by the pandemic and enabled us to emerge in a position of strength. We are grateful to Nick for his steadfast leadership and getting us around so many obstacles.

HUMAN INTEREST FEATURE

Meet the 2023 BABCPHL Executive Committee

At the dawn of the new calendar year, we are thrilled to introduce our 2023 Executive Committee, a select group of eight individuals with a very active role on the BABCPHL Board of Directors. While some of our current officers have been with us since nearly the beginning, several are newer to the Group. Notwithstanding when each person joined the BABCPHL, every officer strives to promote the business relationship between the Greater Philadelphia region and the UK. Everyone brings passion and unique skills to the table. We are fortunate to have a dynamic, accomplished, entrepreneurial and creative group leading the BABCPHL! For more than three decades, the BABCPHL has grown and thrived by promoting increased trade and investment between the UK and Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey, and the State of Delaware. The BABCPHL Board of Directors, and the Executive Committee in particular, are the backbone of the organization, providing guidance and leadership. Individuals serving in this capacity help the BABCPHL flourish by promoting and advancing our mission.

MIND THE GAP

Every year, people all around the United States gather on December 31st to watch the ball drop-in Times Square. Did you know that New York is not the only state that has a tradition of dropping an object on New Year's Eve?

Different cities and towns across Pennsylvania come together on New Year's Eve with their own unique traditions. For example, breweries in King of Prussia lower beer cans and kegs. Bethlehem lowers a 400 pound peep, a popular Easter marshmallow, and Kennett Square has lowered the same object for the past 10 years.

Trivia:

What is the object that has been dropped in Kennett Square for the past 10 years?

The first person to submit the correct answer to babc@babcphl.com will receive one complimentary ticket to the Second Annual England vs. Ireland Rugby Viewing Party.
