When the region’s most influential leaders come together, the room shifts, ideas spark, and real momentum begins. That is the power of our honorees and the Long Island Press Power List presented by Schneps Media.
NOMINATE. SUPPORT. CELEBRATE.
For over 20 years, our Power Lists have recognized the business leaders, civic champions, and elected officials who move the region forward including Icons whose influence has shaped the region, Rising Stars representing the next generation of leadership, and remarkable individuals whose contributions earn special titles for extraordinary achievement. Together, they embody the influence, innovation, and inspiration that define our Power Lists.
This year, we are proud to further elevate excellence and inclusion through dedicated DEI Award Categories, honoring outstanding leaders through the Latin Impact Awards, Caribbean Impact Awards, and Gay City News Impact Awards- recognizing individuals whose work strengthens communities, amplifies diverse voices, and drives meaningful change across Long Island.
100% of the evening’s raffle proceeds will benefit Paws of War.
