Tagged: Lehigh Valley Discourse

Listen and learn this week’s program as Charlene Donches Mowers, Executive Director, Bethlehem Museums and Sites discusses the changes occurring within the Historic Bethlehem Partnership and the exciting opportunities ahead – for the business community, for our residential community, and for 2012 holidays!

Among the changes that the 2012 election will bring is a new representative for Pennsylvania’s 132nd district, long served by Jennifer Mann.  Representative Mann was elected at the age of 28 and served seven terms.  She has lots to say and Alan Jennings, host of Lehigh Valley Discourse, will be giving her a venue to do so this Thursday.  The two will talk about her experiences, the difference she made, her regrets, what’s wrong and what’s right about politics in the 21st century, and the implications of the first election in 14 years in which her name isn’t on the ballot.

Host John Pearce chats with guest Dr. Franklin Sherman about his book, Bridges:  Documents of the Christian-Jewish Dialogue.  Dr. Sherman is a scholar who has studied these documents since the end of WWII.

In early 2000s, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of NE PA introduced a program to help its clients get in front of venture capitalists.  This provided two very special and important opportunities. First, it helped to guide and prepare start- up ventures in their ability to present their business and investment case.  Second, it helped to make venture capitalists aware of the business innovations taking place in the Lehigh Valley.
