NORTH SHORE FINANCIAL GROUP LEVERAGES CULTURAL DIVERSITY TO SUPPORT MINORITY BUSINESS
December 2008 - North Shore Financial Group, a MetLife Individual Distribution sales office in Hauppauge, NY, on Long Island, has taken an active role in supporting its county’s growing minority business community.
Associates from North Shore Financial Group have recently filled two seats on the Suffolk County Minority Business Development Council, a special initiative designed to provide minority businesses with support to help them succeed on Long Island. Financial Services Representative Deborah Faulk serves as the Council’s secretary, and Administrative Functional Manager of Marketing Katherine Rupp sits on the Advisory Council.
"Supporting diversity in the business community is a natural fit for the North Shore Financial Group," reports Michael Tuccillo, managing director. "We foster a multicultural environment and have representatives who collectively speak over a dozen different languages. We are pleased to be able to help minority professionals both in and out of our agency achieve financial freedom."
Suffolk County is home to nearly 1.5 million people. In 2000, African-Americans, Latinos, Asian-Americans and other multicultural groups made up nearly 20 percent of the total population. In the past eight years, this percentage has continued to increase, and these diverse groups comprise the county’s fastest growing communities.
"Many of us here know first hand what it is like to try and build a business in a new environment where we may have had to overcome language or cultural barriers," according to Michael. "That makes helping other businesspeople succeed in our community all the more meaningful for us."
