FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the Long Island Builders Institute (LIBI) website; the visible and vital voice of the building industry on Long Island.
We are a membership organization representing builders, developers, remodelers and associated professionals and businesses. Our mission is to promote our industry through our lobbying efforts, and toward that end we provide economic, political and social networking opportunities for our membership.
LIBI proudly recognized the ‘founding fathers’ of our organization in 2009 with the inauguration of the Hall of Fame. Our history goes nearly 70 years, providing a legacy and road map through time to the present.
Clearly the character of Long Island has changed since Levittown and the returning veterans from WWII. Our housing needs have similarly changed. LIBI is in the forefront, recognized by towns and municipalities as an authority to help design and develop opportunities to meet sensible housing goals. Whether it is single family detached home ownership, clustered housing with recreational amenities or exciting mixed use, transit oriented developments to revitalize town centers, LIBI believes in Long Island. The challenges are always here, and LIBI works to offer creative contributions to our industry needs.
We look forward to an engaging and challenging year in 2010. We are not ‘out of the woods’ of our economic downturn, but indications are for a much brighter year than 2009. Our scheduled events are varied and aimed toward providing a platform for involvement and advancement of our industry. There are regularly-scheduled general membership meetings with relevant programs following lively networking sessions. Other highlights include our annual lobbying trip to Albany to meet with local legislators and LIBI’s annual Trade Show which draws thousands of attendees.
If you are not a part of LIBI already, then now is the time to join the organization that works to keep the building industry healthy on Long Island through political, charitable and professional means.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please feel free to call me at 631-232-2345 or email me at ira@libi.org.
Ira Tane
