Long Island Operators Celebrate At Black Tie Gala

<p>Decked Out: The LILA Board of Directors celebrated their association with a festive Black Tie Awards Banquet Tuesday, Jan. 10. (Photo from Long Island Limousine Association)</p>LONG ISLAND, N.Y.— More than 120 operators, guests, and vendor sponsors attended the Long Island Limousine Association’s (LILA) gala Black Tie Awards Banquet, held at the Stonebridge Country Club on Jan. 10.  

Dressed to the nines, members danced, dined, and celebrated their growing association with award presentations to members and vendor sponsors.

LILA President Bill Goerl (Clique Limousine) said the idea to hold an awards celebration stemmed from his recognition as a former LCT Operator of The Year (2003) and being recognized by the industry at the annual event, held during the International LCT Show in Las Vegas. He added honoring members’ achievements and long-time memberships deserve to be “recognized because it’s the people who make up an association.”

Steven Berry (S & G Limousine) was awarded the Shining Star Award, and Dave Lipsky (Authority Limo Repair) received the Associate Member of the Year Award. Other LILA members were recognized for their 10-, 20-, and 30-year memberships in the association, as well as long-time vendor sponsors.
