Although many of these occur daily, we wanted to share a few of our success stories with you.
Partners
Happy New Year to BWP! Greetings from Mark Maloney, President, Boston World Partnerships, Inc.
Recently, a fellow Connector asked me to fill him in on my year, and to share my thoughts and aspirations for 2012. It seemed a “personal” request, so I shared some of my own story in order to give the international economic development work I do a personal “touch”. In sharing those stories I realized that they tell of the international life I live here in Boston.
I hope that by sharing these stories with you, you will get to know me better, and to understand how I might be able to connect you to “Boston” opportunities, no matter where you live or work. In turn, I am hoping you will share your stories with all of us in the BWP community. The better we know the members of the BWP community, the better we will be able to connect for the benefit of Boston and ourselves.

Making Boston Green, Clean and Bright
