John Licata, GWWBN President has announced that American University's Katzen Arts Center will host our Speaker Series and Network Event. Licata stated, "The Katzen Fine Arts Center is an ideal site to promote our mission and bring together our business leaders and professionals. Holding our event on the campus demonstrates the business community's support of amateur wrestling. You can't find a better place to build relationships and grow your business."
Dennis Hastert was the 59th Speaker of the House and the longest-
serving Republican Speaker in history. Also, a former collegiate
wrestler, high school government teacher and Illinois State Championship
wrestling coach.
Dan Gable is famous for having lost one match his entire high school
and college career- his last, and winning the 1972 Olympic Gold Medal in
Munich while not giving up a single point. As head coach at the
University of Iowa he won fifteen NCAA team championships.
GWWBN is a not for profit group that has been formed by its founding
board to mobilize the business wrestling community for personal, social
and business purposes in a proactive fashion to support and prosper.
Founders Board Members consist of;
John Licata, JK Moving Services; Keith Burgess, The Meltzer Group;
Darran Anthony, First Home Mortgage; Eric Brugel, Grey Owl Capital
Management; Kevin Colabucci, Mercedes-Benz of Silver Spring; Derek
Donahue, Business Solutions HZI, Inc; Michael Lerner, Meridan Homes;
Alan Meltzer, The Meltzer Group; Wade Schalles, Eagle Hawk Academy; and
Dan Wotring, Integrated Logistics/ Platinum Circle Technologies.
The event objective is to engage the business community with ties to
wrestling to support wrestling while showing its economic impact. The
goal is to mobilize the group to support each others business with the
clear understanding that we individually will give back to the sport of
wrestling.
Alan Meltzer, a Founding Member and event sponsor said, "Having Dennis
Hastert and Dan Gable on campus as our guest speakers is a huge
testament to the commitment of the wrestling business community and I am
so pleased to play a part in making it happen."
