WHAT IS csbEnvision4?
csbEnvision4 is the fourth annual, large-scale Jewish business conference for professionals in the world of finance. It will aim to provide serious-minded accountants, advisors, agents, attorneys and brokers with the necessary tools to learn, grow and succeed more in building their business.

WHO IS BEHIND csbEnvision4?
csbEnvision4 was first formed as a collaborative effort involving the following well-known individuals in the world of Life Insurance: Yoel Yitzchok Bodek, President of Brokers Central; Abe Weiss, of the MassMutual Lee, Nolan & Koroghlian Agency; Jacob Kahan & Aaron Klein of the MassMutual Brooklyn Agency; Abraham Ekstein & Shrage Posen of the Brooklyn Financial Group; David Braver President of Empire Insurance Brokerage and Ari Friedman of BenefitMall. This year's conference's committee is chaired by Henry Friedman, Simon Friedman, Moses Lipschitz, Chaim Sternheim, Benzion Wertzberger and Samuel Zidman. Additionally, a number of high-profile Accountants and Attorneys have been involved in planning and oversight of this year’s first class conference agenda.

WHAT IS THE MEANING BEHIND THE csbEnvision4 NAME?
The csbEnvision4 conference is the brainchild of partnering general agent, Yoel Y Bodek. After being introduced to CSB - Computer Sciences for the Blind - almost 10 years ago, Bodek first introduced The CSB Event in 2011 as a means of raising funds for the organization. The success fostered by this initiative, among others, spawned the very concept which has now evolved into a first class annual business conference for professionals in the Accounting, Insurance and Legal world, and it continues to benefit CSB.
