LETTER FROM THE HIA-LI PRESIDENT & CEO

Dear Valued Business Leader: In 2010, I was fortunate to represent the HIA-LI at a women’s roundtable hosted by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. She asked women business leaders what we felt the biggest obstacles were for women in business and many of us spoke about Life/Work Balance, Finding Your Voice, Building and Leveraging Your Network, The Power of Mentoring and Navigating Your Career Path. The Senator threw down a challenge that morning to continue this critical discussion.

The HIA-LI has done exactly that with our 12th Annual Women’s Executive Leadership Program on November 18, 2022, at 8 am at the Hilton Long Island, Melville.

Women are a strong economic engine with over 13 million employed, bringing in over $1.9 trillion in sales. Hear from some of Long Island’s most successful women in business as they discuss these issues in Life/Work Balance, Finding Your Voice, Building and Leveraging Your Network, The Power of Mentoring and Navigating Your Career Path.

Moderated by Domenique Camacho-Moran Partner Farrell Fritz P.C. with panelists Andrea Principe - Division Director for the Northeast Division of Chase Business Banking, Kristen Reynolds - President & CEO of Discover Long Island, Christine M. Riordan - President of Adelphi University, Theresa Sanders - President & CEO of the Urban League of Long Island and Anne Shybunko-Moore - CEO & Owner of GSE Dynamics and HIA-LI Board Member this will surely be a powerful discussion.

To register, please visit our website at www.hia-li.org or call 631-543-5355.

ADVOCATING FOR LONG ISLAND BUSINESS

The HIA-had currently taken part in the Melville Chamber Business Expo at the Hilton Hotel in Melville. We are grateful for the opportunity and were delighted to be surrounded by many other businesses across the island to allow guests to learn from some of the very best.

The HIA-LI was honored to have been invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand opening of BusPatrol’s New York School Bus Safety Center in Hauppauge which will serve as a collaborative space where community members can come together to build a safer world for future generations. As part of their investment in the local community, they have hired an additional 40 BusPatrollers to join their mission. We were pleased to support CEO & Founder Jean Souliere and his entire team alongside Suffolk County Police Commissioner Rodney Harrison and Suffolk County Deputy County Executive Jon Kaiman. We are beyond excited to welcome another company into the park and to continue to see business growing on Long Island.

HIA-LI President + CEO Terri Alessi-Miceli had the pleasure of presenting at the LIBDC conference on the importance of manufacturing as a growth industry and the significance of the Long Island Innovation Park at Hauppauge. 58% of the industry in the LIIPH are in tradable sectors making it the regional hub for Long Island. Thank you to LIBDC and Patrick Boyle from Ignite LI for the invitation.

The HIA-LI was pleased to attend the 2022 Manufacturing Day at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. We are thankful to have been able to have taken part in this exciting event and to connect with local manufacturers, educators, and students from across the island!

ADVOCATING FOR LONG ISLAND BUSINESS

We want to thank Premier Care Industries for their strong presence in the Park and congratulate them on a quarter of a century in business!

The HIA-LI attended a press conference at Suffolk County Community College announcing their partnership with Catholic Health Services and Suffolk County Department of Labor for a new 7 month medical assistant program beginning in November.

keepingcurrent Using a Podcast to Market Your Business

By Sal DiVincenzo divincenzosalvatore@mcplibrary.org and Elizabeth Malafi malafielizabeth@mcplibrary.org Miller Business Center www.millerbusinesscenter.org

Podcasts are hot! Their popularity has surged in recent years and continues to rise. According to Statista, just 21% of the U.S. population listened to a podcast in 2016, but by 2018, 41% (or 82.7 million people) had listened. Projections show this number increasing to more than 100 million by 2024. That’s a lot of potential customers and you’re ready to jump into the podcasting game.

But is it right for you? There is a lot to consider before you record your first episode.

How can a podcast benefit my business? There are many ways having a podcast may benefit your business including increasing your brand’s awareness, connecting you with potential collaborators, or positioning you as an industry expert. Consider these and determine if they fit in your short and long range goals.

Am I willing to invest time (and money) into producing a podcast? What’s my potential ROI? Will I spend more than I will potentially make?

There are many ways to create and host a podcast but all will require at least some financial and time investments. Will these investments be inline with your ROI? Can I easily identify my potential audience? It sounds simple but before you write your first podcast script, carefully consider your potential audience. If you can’t pin down who they might be, maybe a podcast isn’t for you.

Once you have answered these questions and have decided to go forward, it’s time to firm up the details of your show. For example, what will your show be about? Start simple and start with a defined subject and scope. While the show will probably evolve as you record more episodes, it is important that your audience have a general idea of what the podcast is about and why they should listen.

Think about the podcasts you enjoy. Aside from the topics they cover, what else do they have in common? Is there one host talking? Is there a group speaking in a very conversational way? Is it educational, entertaining or instructional? How long is the show? How

often are episodes released? Whatever you decide, BE CONSISTENT. Listeners don’t want a sporadically posted podcast that can be anywhere from 10 minutes to over an hour.

Ok, you’ve recorded a couple of episodes and are ready to post. Now what? Build your audience using avenues you are already using to market your business – social networks, word of mouth, your website. Connect with your audience by asking for their feedback and soliciting reviews. Use your podcast and personality to drive traffic to your website, social media, storefront and event.

keepingcurrent The U.S. Treasury’s Call for Transparency: What Small Businesses Need to Know

By Christine Malafi Senior Partner Campolo, Middleton & McCormick, LLP 631-738-9100 cmalafi@cmmllp.com www.cmmllp.com

As of January 1, 2024, most U.S. businesses with fewer than 20 employees will have to register with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Treasury Department. Read on for what your business needs to know about this new obligation.

This federal law requires certain business owners to provide the federal government with specific details on the owners of the business, as well as on other persons who benefit from the business operations. A business that must report is called a “Reporting Company,” which the Act defines as a “corporation, limited liability company, or other similar entity that is created by the filing of a document with a Secretary of State or a similar office under the law of a State or Indian Tribe” (so sole proprietorships or partnerships that are not separate entities do not need to report). However, an entity formed outside the United States which registers to do business in a State is subject to the law.

board of directors, or who provides direction or makes decisions about a company’s “important matters.” The ownership or control that triggers reporting obligations may exist in not only corporate or business governance documents, but also through separate contracts, arrangements, relationships, or understandings.

The largest exemption from filing is believed to be “large operating companies,” those with more than 20 employees, operating in the U.S. (from a physical business address, not a home office) with over $5 million in sales or gross receipts.

Additionally, banks, credit unions, insurance companies, accounting firms, public utilities, governmental authorities, security brokers, and others who report ownership to the government under other laws are exempt from registration under the Act.

However, Beneficial Owners are not minor children (assuming the child’s parents/guardians are reported), an individual acting solely on behalf of another person (an agent, nominee, custodian, etc.), a non-owner employee of the entity, creditors, or individuals with inheritance interests only.

Existing, active businesses covered by the Act will have one year to report: ● the company name, trade name(s), business address, state of formation, Employer Identification Number (EIN), and ● the name, date of birth, residential or business street address, and one unique identification number (i.e., driver’s license, passport, government issued identification) with a copy of the document from which it came, of all “Beneficial Owners,” people who own, substantially control, or create the company (the “company applicant”).

Businesses must make the initial filing, then again every time there is a change in Beneficial Owner status.

Beneficial Owners A Beneficial Owner is any person who, directly or indirectly, owns or controls 25% or more of the entity, or who exercises substantial control over the entity. Substantial control is defined to include any person who serves as a senior officer, has authority to appoint or remove senior officers or members of the

Penalties Any changes in Beneficial Owner statuses must be reported within 30 days of the change.

Penalties for willful non-reporting are both civil ($500 per day) and criminal (up to two years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine). The Reporting Companies are required to comply with this reporting law, not the Beneficial Owners themselves.

These are most definitely safe harbors, which permit the sidestepping of liability for failure to report.

Safeguarding of Information The U.S. Treasury Department is tasked to create a database to house the personal information of what is believed to be over thirty million businesses throughout the country.

The database will be accessed only by law enforcement, banks, and the government. FinCEN is responsible for safeguarding the financial system of the United States from illegal activity, including not only money laundering, but also fraud, corruption, and financing of terrorist activities. Ironically, a law intended to combat fraud may lead to potential concerns about safeguarding the sensitive information collected.

October 2022 - The HIA-LI Reporter Page 21

The Corporate Transparency Act In 2021, the Corporate Transparency Act was enacted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act in an effort to better enforce anti-money laundering laws. The law seeks to make it more difficult for business owners to hide unlawfully obtained assets, hide identities, and launder money through the financial system of the United States. The law is also intended to make corporate ownership more transparent. Although the Act became law on January 1, 2022, it became fully effective on September 29, 2022, when the final regulations were issued.

Who Reports What?

Reporting (at approximately $85 per business) is required of those U.S. corporations, LLCs, or similar entities with 20 or fewer employees. Why is 20 employees the threshold?

It is believed that most shell companies being used to hide unlawful assets have few, if any, employees.

keepingcurrent IRA Promotes Development Of Battery Energy Storage Systems corporations, developers and property owners.

BESS systems provide a wide range of power and storage capacities. A large BESS can be installed in industrial or business districts to serve local manufacturing plants and office buildings, and in some residential districts, it can supply power to entire neighborhoods.

A BESS can also be downsized to service individual dwellings with small units, about the size of a standard residential central air conditioning unit.

The recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) on August 26, 2022 represents unprecedented legislation which, among other things, includes significant investment in renewable energy technologies. The IRA provides tax credits for companies developing and producing solar panels and wind turbines, as well as the manufacturing of battery storage and other renewable energy technologies. Solar and wind technologies have been implemented for many years but battery energy storage systems, more commonly known as “BESS,” is a new evolving technology that allows for more efficient storage of energy. This technology is seeing widespread application by large

Like most new legislation, the IRA is already having significant effects on municipal zoning codes as there are now major incentives to invest in green technologies and allow for their widespread installation. Before the IRA, only a handful of Long Island municipalities took steps to incorporate BESS provisions into their zoning codes. Among them, the Towns of Huntington, Brookhaven, and Southampton all adopted provisions allowing the installation of BESS in their industrial and business districts.

Notably, the Town of Southampton’s code allows for BESS to be installed in residentiallyzoned districts, allowing taxpayers to install a lower-powered unit in their homes as an

accessory use. Combined with the growing trend of installing solar panels on the roofs of residential dwellings, these residential BESS systems will ease the daily burden on the power grid along with providing a source of emergency power during the next superstorm event.

The financial benefits of the IRA are already, not surprisingly, motivating developers to incorporate BESS technology into future projects. Similarly, municipalities are looking for ways to permit the development of BESS systems through zoning code amendments.

Like other renewable energy sources, BESS is certainly here to stay. Developers, homeowners and businesses alike should consider taking advantage of the IRA benefits through installation of renewable energy technologies. With the IRA, renewable energy is not only environmentally responsible but carries with it financial incentives. The experienced attorneys in our Land Use and Renewable Energy practice groups are available to answer your questions and guide you through the complicated approval process for these systems.

By Paule T. Pachter, A.C.S.W., L.M.S.W. Chief Executive Officer Long Island Cares, Inc. The Harry Chapin Regional Food Bank 10 Davids Drive – Harry Chapin Way Hauppauge, New York 11788 Office: 631.582.3663 x 101 www.licares.org

The last time the prevalence of hunger and food insecurity on Long Island was researched was in 2014, when Feeding America published the findings of their “Hunger in America Study.” Since then, we’ve seen the impact of the country’s longest government shutdown, a global pandemic, and rising inflation affect the quality of life for many Long Islanders. That’s especially true for the nearly 230,000 people that rely upon the emergency food network in Nassau and Suffolk County.

visiting our satellite centers, we were able to design a questionnaire, and assist visitors in completing it. We also had the participation of Stony Brook University’s Women in Science and Engineering, and seven of our outside member agencies, which helped with data collection among the people they serve. The final document - “The State of Food Insecurity on Long Island” - describes the findings of our research based upon interviews with 1,014 respondents. While the findings may not shock everyone, the data provide us with enough to warrant our concern, attention and a collaborative response.

Adults between the ages of 18-64 needing food assistance represent 49% of the population; 30.5% are children and 20.5% seniors. Fifty-eight percent of the people interviewed reported utilizing a food pantry for more than a year. When it comes to diversity, 54% of the food insecure identify as Hispanic or Latinx, with 18% identifying as African American. Therefore, most (74%) people are people of color.
