Long Island Association Honors Business Leader Jane Duggan at Annual Golf Classic  

Glen Head, NY - On July 28, 2025, the Long Island Association (LIA) held its fifth annual LIA Golf Classic and Awards Reception, where members of the regional business community got business done on and off the course on a beautiful summer day. The LIA recognized long-time LIA Board Member and retired TD Bank Executive Jane Duggan for her vast contributions to Long Island’s economic growth and community service.
 
“Long Island summers offer warm weather, beautiful beaches, and lots of recreational fun, including at our world-class parks and golf courses. But our business community doesn’t stop and so our annual Golf Classic is a fun opportunity to network and collaborate among friends and associates, getting business done under the sun. It was wonderful to see so many LIA members enjoying a round of golf, expanding partnerships and making new contacts to boost their businesses. When the golf ended, we were thrilled to honor to Jane Duggan, a former LIA Board member and retired TD Bank executive who is known for her energy, enthusiasm, and gregarious approach to business. It was a pleasure to share her achievements with her family, colleagues, and the regional business community,” said Matt Cohen, LIA President & CEO.
 
“We couldn’t think of a more fitting honor at the annual Golf Classic for our long-time Board member Jane Duggan in honor of her service to the LIA and our greater Long Island community. She is a champion for business growth and has touched so many lives throughout her professional career and volunteer work. We are grateful for her contributions to the LIA on the Board and many different committees to support our role as an advocate for economic prosperity,” said Larry Waldman, Chair of the LIA Board of Directors.
 
“A heartfelt thanks to LIA management and Board of Directors for nominating me for this tremendous honor. I thoroughly enjoyed serving on the Board and garnering knowledge and deep connections as a result of my involvement.
