Kelley Coughlan Heck named one of Long Island Business News’ Long Island Business Influencers: Dynamic Women Leaders 2025

RECOGNIZING LONG ISLAND’S MOST DYNAMIC AND INFLUENTIAL WOMEN

In this special section, “Long Island Business Influencers: Most Dynamic Women 2025,” you’ll notice that the region’s landscape continues to be shaped by an extraordinary group of women leaders whose vision, innovation and dedication are transforming industries and communities across Nassau and Suffolk counties. From corporate boardrooms to nonprofit organizations, from medical schools to manufacturing floors, these dynamic leaders are not just breaking barriers—they’re building bridges to a more inclusive and prosperous future.

We are proud to recognize these women leaders, and it has always been a tradition to do so. For the last 25 years, our prestigious Top 50 Women in Business awards—which is celebrating its silver anniversary this year—has honored Long Island’s top female professionals for their business acumen, mentoring and community involvement. As one of our biggest events of the year, we are currently accepting nominations for this achievement until the end of this month. Winners will be recognized with a celebration dinner on Thursday, Oct. 16. Learn more at https://libn.com/event/top50women/.

As we celebrate these remarkable women, we’re reminded that Long Island’s future is in exceptionally capable hands. Their stories inspire us all to think bigger, act bolder, and lead with purpose.
