Westbury Diagnostics Joins LIASB

February 2011

Westbury Diagnostics recently attended the first anniversary celebration of the Long Island Advancement of Small Business (LIASB), and became a member of the organization. Unlike many of the larger trade organizations that have an outreach to small businesses, the only focus of the LIASB is small business. Westbury has watched the group grow from a small number of committed individuals into an effective force. While headlines and pundits have merely declared the importance of small businesses in an economic recovery, the LIASB has taken action. It is a group that has given small business a forum to gather, discuss problems and solutions, and effectively use the power of its combined strength.

As stated on the LIASB website, more than half of Long Island employees work for small business. From our Nation’s founding, small businesses have been the source of growth and innovation. They have created a flourishing middle class, and have supplied cities and small towns with new products and jobs.

At the celebration John Hill, the President and CEO of the LIASB announced that Westbury Diagnostics, Inc. had joined the group and welcomed us as new members. The company representatives that were present were asked to rise and be recognized. In addition to the immediate benefits of networking, and having a forum in which to learn things; Westbury sees its membership in the group as an important part of its long term growth strategy of making equity investments in Long Island based companies.
