“The 1209 Affair:  Networking for the Serious-Minded Entrepreneur”

Frank Waters

Mr. Waters also has an extensive background in event planning, developing music artist showcases, fashion shows and corporate launch parties.

Henry Nelson

Henry Nelson is the founder and owner of Even Exchange Barter, the first black-owned barter company in this region.  Henry Nelson brings his concept of save cash, use barter to the businesses of today.  His large customer base company is equipped to handle almost every service for barter.  And, if your company doesn’t have a service to barter, Henry Nelson is also a broker who can get you the best below market prices; he’s not your average broker.

Henry successfully held monthly seminar/networking events in Brooklyn, “Brooklyn, Stay in Business”.  Each month Henry highlighted a professional entrepreneur who gave advice and information to small to medium business owners.

Mr. Nelson is also a motivational speaker for troubled teens and/or at-risk teenagers.  He has spoken at high school career day events, churches and the Brooklyn Job Corps.  He also speaks at New York prisons for a prison ministry.
