The council elected Heidi Davidson, the Co-Founder and CEO of Galvanize Worldwide, as chairperson of the Board of Directors at the BCW’s Annual Dinner on Thursday, Oct. 10.
Galvanize Worldwide is considered to be the largest distributed network of marketing and communications experts in the world.
Davidson will succeed Anthony Justic, a partner with accounting firm Maier, Markey and Justic LLP, who has served as chairman for the past five years. She has served on the council’s Executive Committee and is responsible for key Business Council policy initiatives such as the launch of the council’s Data Exchange.
“From the revitalization of our urban centers to our advocacy for responsible enhancements at the county airport and leadership on the future of our energy supply, the BCW has been a dominant player on economic development issues that matter to Westchester businesses,’’ said Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of the Business Council of Westchester. “Tony Justic’s leadership played a key role in that success. In 2019, the BCW continued to build on its success and I am certain that Heidi Davidson will bring us to new heights and lead our organization into the future.”
