LONG ISLAND BUSINESSMAN FRANK MITCHELL CORSO, JR. RECEIVES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AWARD IN CELEBRATION OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
WASHINGTON, DC – On Monday, January 18, Long Island business leader Frank Mitchell Corso, Jr. will receive the Economic Development Award from the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration Committee of Nassau County in recognition of his contributions to the areas of business development and minorities in business in Nassau County and beyond.
“I am honored to receive the Economic Development Award in memory of Dr. King’s crucial work towards equality for everyone,” said Corso. “As we continue to celebrate his life and legacy, we must also recognize that there is still much to be done to realize his dream of a brighter future.”
A principal of Frank Mitchell Corso, Jr., and Associates, Inc., Corso sits on the Board of Directors of Friends of the World Food Program (Friends of WFP), as well as the boards of trustees of the American Kidney Fund and Long Island Transportation Management, Inc. As an authority on economic and business development, lending and franchising, Corso assists many businesses throughout the United States by providing expertise on business matters such as financing, business development, marketing and franchising.
“Through his work on the Friends of WFP Board of Directors, Frank is supporting the United Nations World Food Program’s mission of providing life-saving food to the world’s most vulnerable people, bringing us one step closer to Dr. King’s vision of a peaceful, stable world,” said Randy Russell, Chairman of the Friends of WFP Board. “Food is not only a civil right, but a basic human right as well. The fight against hunger is even more important now that hunger plagues over 1 billion people worldwide. On behalf of the entire Board, I congratulate Frank on this much-deserved recognition.”

Each year the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Birthday Celebration Committee of Nassau County honors people from the area that demonstrate the philosophy of Dr. King by displaying excellent leadership in the community and volunteering their time to improve the everyday quality of life.
