Today in our Veterans Day spotlight we are proud to feature Fred Lawrence, father-in-law of CMM’s Lauren Kanter Lawrence. A Sergeant in the Infantry, Fred was in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive in 1968. His unit was the 1st Battalion 16th Infantry Regiment, better known as the “Big Red One.” He came home in April 1969. In 2015, his name was added to Eisenhower Veterans Plaza honoring Nassau County residents who served. We thank Fred for his service.
This week CMM was thrilled to receive the Corporate Leadership Award at Family Service League’s Great Chefs Gala in recognition of our support of our neighbors in need through our charitable initiative, CMM Cares. Accepting the award on behalf of CMM, Senior Partner Christine Malafi told a personal story of how she was inspired to join FSL’s board when she met a wounded veteran who relies on FSL’s food bank and had shared how much the organization meant to him. We also congratulate NYS Senator Phil Boyle, recipient of the Government Leadership Award, and we thank NYS Senator James Gaughran, who presented the firm with a Proclamation honoring our service to the community and New York State.

This morning CMM hosted “Negotiation 101,” a roadmap for young professionals to navigate the countless negotiations we all face daily in our personal and professional lives. CMM Managing Partner Joe Campolo, a leading authority on negotiation, followed up his prior lessons on strategic goals, time management, and networking with this critical primer on negotiation featuring personal stories and advice. Young professionals enjoyed networking with fellow participants of the three-part introductory series, and we look forward to taking a deeper dive into these topics in the new year. Thank you to our sponsor Sasserath & Zoraian, LLP! Hungry for more actionable leadership strategies as we head into 2020?

Jerome N. Fier, father of CMM’s Michelle DiPietro, was 19 and living in Flushing, Queens when he enlisted in the army. A butcher by trade, Jerome relied on his skills with food to run a chow hall north of Seoul, Korea. He was also responsible for organizing the tanks that delivered food to the troops. He was honorably discharged with the rank of Sergeant, and is currently 84 years old and living in Staten Island. We thank Jerome for his service!
