Patrick LaMont and the AHFNY Executive Board accomplished their mission on having another successful and informative annual Seminar on June 21, 2019. It was held at the Sheraton LaGuardia Hotel in Flushing, NY and was well attended by both the members and vendors of the organization. The agenda included a wide variety of topics and the vendor exhibitors were given an opportunity to introduce their new products. Everyone at the event left feeling extremely excited about the ongoing growth of the organization and look forward to the upcoming Boat Cruise around NYC at the end of July.
