The Long Island Association’s (LIA) State of the Region breakfast will take place on Friday, January 9 at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury. Registration and networking start at 8 a.m. and the program begins at 8:30 a.m.
The State of the Region is an annual event held by the LIA where elected leaders discuss their vision and priorities for our region with the Long Island business community. LIA President & CEO Matt Cohen will moderate a conversation with guests including New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and Suffolk County Executive Ed Romaine.
This year’s event is a special one for the LIA, as the organization celebrates its 100th anniversary. The LIA has had an extensive history of advocating for the region’s business community and economic growth as a non-partisan, non-profit organization. Its regional leadership has played a direct role in shepherding progress by urging for government policies and securing funding that created jobs for people who sought the suburban way of life.
