On 10/26/2004 the first meeting of the Pharmaceutical Cosmetic Nutraceutical Alliance was held at the Estee Lauder Corporate Center in Melville, New York.
The attendees were introduced to an association dedicated to serve and support them, their organizations, and the industry they represent.

Steve Early of BOCES gave an excellent presentation on grant support available from New York State for employee education, process improvement, and equipment for existing businesses, as well as start up capital for new business. He also explained that there was help available to assist in the grant application process. For many it was an exciting revelation.

Steve's presentation will be available on line in this site's member’s area for reference. A follow up meeting to introduce the membership to professional grant writers is currently being scheduled.

The board would like to thank all of those that hosted, attended, presented, or participated in any way. You made the evening a success, and will surely make this organization a success as well.
