Alan Lubin                        Bruce Ventimiglia

The Business and Labor Coalition of New York is proud to announce that BALCONY Co-Founder Alan Lubin has re-upped as Co-Chair of BALCONY, serving with Founding BALCONY Business Co-Chair Bruce Ventimiglia.

“This is a pivotal time in New York’s history,” says Lubin, “and we need a collaborative effort between business and labor to build trust in the economy. Since 2006, we’ve found common ground, and moving forward, we can build on it.”

Lubin is energized with the decision to stay at BALCONY coinciding with his plans to step down as Executive Vice President of NYSUT. “Having a great life at both home and work is a treasure I have enjoyed,” says Lubin. But “after more than 40 years, it’s time to bite the bullet-time for me to move on from NYSUT so that new leadership can develop.”

“I will continue as Co-Chair of BALCONY and will help grow this fine organization. We are proud of the work we do advocating the affordable health care, assisting small business, impacting state government and helping people,” stated Lubin.

“BALCONY is committed to building a solid coalition between Business and Labor in New York State,” stated Ventimiglia.

Lubin’s leadership and optimism are a key natural resource at BALCONY – founded in 2006 by Lubin and Co-Chair Bruce Ventimiglia, Chair of Saratoga Capitol Management LLC.
