The Power Lit the Room
Members of The Power List lit up the Mansion at Oyster Bay on April 12.
Eichhorn, politicians, academics,
philanthropists and leaders
of companies, some that
are household names and some
unknown, but all making an
enormous impact on our world.
In fact,they have the future of
Long Island in their hands. The
attendees are the Who’s Who of
Long Island and I, along with
Diane Macedo of WABC-TV,
joyously presented them each
with a crystal ball in keeping
with the tradition of crystal as
a symbol of a 15th anniversary.
It was such fun to see the joy
on the faces of the family and
friends who accompanied our
Power Listees. It was a night to
cherish for me and them.
Visiting Albany
The gathering of members
of the New York Press
Association is always a
powerful few days offering me
new insights on my industry
and gathering awards for my
writers. This year, I’m proud
to say, we won several awards
for our insightful and investigative
coverage by the Long
Island Press, Queens Courier
and Times Newsweekly.
Albany, our state capital,
is a city of grand architectural
proportions from stunning,
18th century national
historic sites to the massive,
modernist Empire State Plaza.
It includes Erastus Corning
Tower, the tallest building in
the state outside New York
City. Every time I visit, I’m
taken with the juxtaposition
of the old with the new.
Although most of the buildings
are built to house government
offices, there are beautiful
streets lined with handsome
brownstone buildings.
It’s a powerful city holding its
place in history.
The conference was held at
the Hilton but I was too late to
get a room there so I stayed at
the reasonably priced Holiday
Inn Express only minutes
from the meetings.
I’d never stayed at a Holiday
Inn Express before and I was
very impressed with the services
they offered. I swim
every morning and didn’t
think I’d find a pool at the
hotel, but there was an indoor
pool and a gym.
Most impressive was the
free buffet breakfast that was
a feast. They even offered my
favorite egg white omelets,
turkey sausage, yogurt, fresh
fruit, pancakes, juice and
multiple cauldrons of coffee.
Members of the Queens Courier and Long Island Press teams with their New
York Press Association awards.
It was a very great way to
begin the day.
Michele Rea, who runs
NYPA and the conference,
always finds informed people
to speak and I always walk
away with new wisdom.
I’m excited to bring to my
clients the skills I learned
such as how to consult with
them to help them build their
business with a plan not an
ad. In the changing media
world, I must find a better
way to get the message out
that our websites get over two
million page views a month.
So my work has just begun --
a new challenge, but what is
life without them!

On Thursday night, the
Mansion at Oyster Bay
didn’t need to light the
luxury locale with PSEG Energy.
The Power List winners did it
with their presence.
Since my company acquired
the Long Island Press, we also
acquired a respected and celebrated
event created 15 years ago
at the relaunch of the beloved
and renowned newspaper.
Since its inception, the event
has been an annual tradition,
an exclusive party celebrating
those sought-after elites that
made the cut. And it was at
last year’s party that the baton
of ownership was transferred
from Morey Publishing to
Schneps Communications.
Often people will lobby to
get on the list, only to find out
that’s not how it works. Only
the truly influential make it
and I appreciate our committee
that determines the Power List.
For example, there was
PSEG’s new President Daniel
Barbara Bush
1925-2018
It was sad to hear of the
death of former First Lady
Barbara Bush, a woman
I totally respected for her
devotion to her family.
I also remember the
critical words she shared
at a commencement ceremony
at her alma mater,
Wellesley College. She
made the point that the
critical part of our lives
is to always remember
to hug and love our children
because they are the
future and must come
before all else in our lives.
What a monumental
but simple statement.
Did you hug your child
today?
