Back at the end of 2007 the Long Island Business News announced their list of Long Island influentials. The LIBN staff issued their annual presentation of Long Island’s most influential people in business, government, education, philanthropy and civic life. The people on the list may not have a formal role or position in a business organization or public institution but they are seen as the local movers and shakers.

Katherine Heaviside, President of Epoch 5 Public Relation, was recognized among the leading figures in media and public relations firms on Long Island.  The LIBN staff described her accomplishments through the company she keeps:

“Look at the client list of Huntington’s Epoch 5 Public Relations and it seems every single organization, either for-profit or not, is represented by the firm Katherine Heavisde founded. In 25 years, Heaviside has been in the hunt, bagging big game such as Brookhaven National Laboratory, Bethpage Federal Credit Union, King Kullen, Cablevision, HIP Health Plan of New York and too-many-to-list power packed law and accounting firms. “

Anyone who knows business here knows that Heaviside has guided and influenced the most prominent corporations and institutions on Long island.  LIBN  also praise her service to local nonprofits and community organizations.

Epoch 5 Public Relations, located in Huntington NY, is Long Island’s largest public relations firm.  They provide a full range of media relations and PR services.  Epoch 5 represents leading firms in health care, real estate, energy, media, education, nonprofits, and professional services.
