Creating new partnerships within Brooklyn<\/p>\n

Katharina Goetz, president of Brooklyn Bridge Parents, told the Brooklyn Eagle, \u201cIt\u2019s about time we had a forum on families in Brooklyn. There are 600,000 children under 18 here \u2014 a very big number.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Goetz pointed out that the main goal of the Family Leadership Summit is to share ideas on how to service Brooklyn families better. \u201cI want people to network today and create new partnerships within Brooklyn,\u201d she said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Erica Roseman, president of Concrete Communications, a creative marketing and branding agency based in Brooklyn, spoke about how City Point has always been a huge proponent of families in Kings County.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday is about exchanging ideas and seeing what we can do better for the community,\u201d Roseman said. \u201cThis would encompass shopping, dining, entertainment and the like. Brooklyn is and has always been about family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Travis, partner of City Point and one of the event\u2019s moderators, noted that City Point has had a focus on families since its inception, calling it \u201ca big part of what makes Brooklyn special and unique.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN \u2014 The inaugural Brooklyn Family Leadership Summit explored family life, culture and commerce on Jan. 28…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":123681,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[2898,98,53966,9346,100,642,99,13709,16073,51835,4683,9,24,63,2578,2579,4116],"class_list":["post-123680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-antonio-reynoso","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-bridge-parents","tag-brooklyn-childrens-museum","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-museum","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-brooklyn-org","tag-brooklyn-public-library-bpl","tag-city-point","tag-family","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-premium","tag-premium-content","tag-wayne-daren-schneiderman"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=123680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/123680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/123681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=123680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=123680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=123680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
