Long Island Business News has selected this year’s Icon Honors recipients.
Icon Honors recognizes Long Island business leaders, over the age of 60, for their notable success and demonstration of strong leadership within and outside their fields. The honorees have moved their businesses and Long Island forward by growing jobs and making a difference in the community.
To be eligible for Icon Honors, winners must have a long-standing commitment to the Long Island business community. Honorees must also have a sustained dedication to philanthropic service and mentoring. They may be in the workforce (or retired) and must hold (or have held) senior management-level positions with significant authority in decision-making for their organization. The winners were selected by the editors of Long Island Business News.
“The 2026 Icon Honors recipients are an impressive group of leaders. They have worked tirelessly to excel in their careers, but they work just as hard to spark innovation and progress, meeting a variety of challenges on Long Island and beyond,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Long Island Business News. “These visionaries are actively engaged in the community, and they mentor other leaders as well. We at Long Island Business News are pleased to honor them.”
The winners will be recognized at a celebration on Thursday, March 19, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Crest Hollow Country Club, 8325 Jericho Turnpike, Woodbury. Registration and networking begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by the luncheon and awards celebration at Noon. The event hashtag is #LIBNevents.
Winners will be profiled in a special section that will be inserted into the March 20 issue of Long Island Business News and will be available online at LIBN.com.
