Dear Members,

 
On behalf of The World Zarathushti Chamber of Commerce (WZCC) we’d like to encourage you to learn more about the value and benefits of this niche organization and to join our membership.

 
The WZCC has been created to facilitate networking, enhance trade and commerce and to re energize the Zarathushti entrepreneurial spirit worldwide through a networking of business and professionals.

 
The New York chapter of WZCC provides its members with both professional and personal tools to thrive in today’s marketplace. Past events have included networking opportunities for current and future job seekers, seminars on refining your skills, mentoring programs and discussions with current and emerging entrepreneurs. WZCC also provides a database providing information on topics ranging from worldwide job availability and business opportunities to a bank of historical data on Who’s Who in the fast paced World Zarathushti Business Arena. In addition, recently, to help members, the Zoroastrian Stimulus Package was created, a private job search & career counseling service.

 
In addition to growing it’s regular membership, the association has a strong level of interest in growing its ‘young professionals’ segment. At this time, we are holding an aggressive membership drive. If you, your children (college +) or someone else in your family or circle of friends would be interested in learning more about WZCC or joining, please contact Paul Daruwala at pdaruwala4@aol.com or at 908-531-0951.

 
For your reference, the next event will be a networking event in NYC on July 20th in conjunction with TIE (The Indus Entrepreneurs), a well established group of professionals with similar goals to the WZCC. The event will be from 6-8pm at K lounge, 132 West, 45th street, New York, 10036.

 
The NY Chapter’s past events have included a speaker event with the nationally distinguished economist Amar Bhide and “Conversations With” young professional entrepreneurs: Kayhan Irani, Tenaz Dubash and Jehangir Mehta.

 
We look forward to your interest and participation in this professional organization.

 
Thanks,
Usheen Davar
WZCC NY, Young Professionals Board Member
