Reference excerpt

The Partnership for New York City, formerly called the New York City Partnership, is a nonprofit business advocacy group consisting of roughly three hundred CEOs ("Partners") from prominent corporate, investment and entrepreneurial firms in New York. The organization was founded by David Rockefeller in 1979, with the aim of increasing business involvement in city government and the civic sector. It merged with the New York Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2002, forming the current organization. The partnership focuses on research, policy formulation and issue advocacy at the city, state and federal levels. Through its affiliate, the Partnership Fund for New York City, the partnership invests in economic development projects across the city. By 2000, the fund had raised in excess of $110 million and made more than 40 investments in businesses and nonprofits. In 2014, the partnership was named by Crain's New York Business as New York City's most-connected nonprofit. The current president of the Partnership is former Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, now the borough president of Manhattan, formerly served as the partnership's general counsel.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Partnership for New York City

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Partnership for New York City claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Partnership for New York City before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Partnership for New York City ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Partnership for New York City

In research: Partnership for New York City appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Partnership for New York City in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Partnership for New York City is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1979 establishments in New York City, Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York, Economy of New York City, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Partnership for New York City outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
