“Power Women of Long Island is the last of the incredible 2024 Power Women events. This has been the greatest year yet and I cannot wait to bring this group of women together in a room and see the incredible things that will be birthed.” said Elizabeth Schneps Aloni, SVP Events, Schneps Media.
Schneps Media, publishers of the Long Island Press, Dan’s Papers, Manhasset Press, Roslyn News Times, Great Neck News Record, Port Washington News, Syosset Jericho Plainview Tribune and Noticia, is proud to bring together the most extraordinary women to connect, support one another, do business and build community.
At every Power Woman event, Schneps Media raises money for a local cause through a raffle. For Power Women of Long Island one-hundred percent of the evenings raffle proceeds will go to the Riverhead-based nonprofit RISE Life Services, a nonprofit organization that was established in 1980 as an aid to the developmentally disabled. RISE is committed to make life better with a community of services to empower people of all abilities to Rise to their full potential.
