Dear PRPLI Colleagues,
Wow! It is hard to believe that my first year as president is coming to a close. As I review the past year, I am proud of the opportunities we have provided for our members, programs we produced, and recognitions we gave to our honorees and scholarship winners.
I want to thank everyone who served on the board of directors who made my year a success with their generous sharing of their time, talent, and resources on behalf of PRPLI. Their cooperation and teamwork have been important factors to the success we’ve achieved.
I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Louise Cassano for her dedication and support to me personally and for her 25-plus years of dedication to PRPLI. She has decided to step down from the board and will retire as our newsletter editor (this is her last issue). Louise has been a sounding board, the institutional memory, and good friend to me. I will miss her at our monthly meetings. The big question is how do we fill her shoes?
At our recent annual membership meeting in June, we voted in a new slate of officers and board members. I look forward to working with all of them for the next year. I am excited to report that we are planning our summer networking event, so keep a lookout for the date in an upcoming Newsbites. Also, please mark your calendar for our first program of the fall, Psychology of Social Media, on October 24, 2018.
Without members PRPLI would not exist. Now is the time to renew your membership! The new membership year starts on July 1. Don’t wait to renew − Long Island Ducks tickets may be in your future.
I also want to encourage all our members to become involved in PRPLI. We need your talent and resources on our committees and in our newsletter. If you are interested in finding out more about how you can help, just reach out to me at info@PRPLI.org.
Enjoy the summer and I look forward to another great year in PRPLI!
Best regards,
Donna Rivera-Downey
President, PRPLI Board of Directors

Winter 2016: Can Combining PR and Marketing Help Meet your Goals?
For many years, companies have kept their marketing and public relations offices separate, finding it beneficial to allow for these efforts to work apart rather than together. In recent years, more companies are opting to combine these offices and have them work collaboratively to meet the company’s needs.
Winter 2016: PRPLI Spotlight On: Kevin Rooney
Oil Heat Institute of Long Island CEO Kevin Rooney joined PRPLI at its very beginning thanks to his friend Jeff Morosoff, one of PRPLI’s founding members. While not actively involved in the organization, Rooney has continued his membership to support PRPLI because “it’s a good organization which helps and promotes younger people getting into the business.”
