As the voice of business in New York State, The Business Council experienced record-breaking growth in membership in 2024. One hundred fifty new businesses joined BCNYS last year, bringing our membership total to over 3,400. Our members appreciate the hard work and dedication of our Leadership team and Government Affairs staff on their behalf. Dozens of them showed their appreciation by referring and recommending membership in The Business Council of New York State, Inc. to their peers and clients—however, Megan Osika and Ryan Moses went above and beyond. With a nod to BCNYS member Ultimate Fighting Championship I declare Park Strategies the “Undisputed Member Recruitment Champion of The Business Council.

Everyone would feel the burden of #tariffs, but economies in bordering states, like New York, are critically and directly impacted. https://lnkd.in/eAncMXFP
