Long Island Press PowerList
Event Information
About this Event
Those that call Long Island home include everyone from Fortune 500 company leaders to the top policymakers in New York State. It is a hotbed of innovation and scientific research. And it’s launched the careers of countless leaders in education, real estate, nonprofit, law and healthcare — not to mention media moguls.
Now in its 17th year, the annual Long Island Press Power List, honors Long Island’s 2019 most influential leaders in business and the impact and influence they have made on our Island existence over the past year.
