The Hundred Year Association of New York

The Hundred Year Association of New York

The Hundred Year Association of New York, founded in 1927, is a non-profit organization in New York City aimed at recognizing and rewarding dedication and service to the City of New York by businesses and organizations that have been in operation in the city for a century or more and by individuals who have devoted their lives to the city as city employees.

The Association also provides services to its members to promote to the public their history and contributions to the educational and civic affairs of New York and to preserve, foster and perpetuate high ideals and worthy traditions that have been handed down through the years in the business and professional life of the city. It also stands ready to use the background of experience of its members for the common good as opportunity arises; and to aid and counsel those less experienced whose success would contribute substantially to the City’s business and civic fabric.

Membership

Any association, corporation, partnership or individual proprietorship whose continuity in its own right, or as successor to an organization in business for over 100 years is eligible for membership. Organizations 75 years or older may join as associate members.

Individuals can join the Association's 'Century Society.'

Notable current members include ConEdison, Keyspan Corporation, The Chief-Civil Service Leader, The Brooklyn Bar Association, Rosenwach Tank Company, John Gallin & Son, Hagedorn & Company, Leys, Christie & Company, Modell’s Sporting Goods, Henry W. T. Mali & Company, New York University, Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, Bowne & Co., The New York Post, Dancker, Sellew & Douglas, James Thompson & Co., Atlantic Mutual Companies, The Bank of New York, Richmond County Savings Bank, E. J. Electric, Emmet, Marvin & Martin, Scientific American, The Hotel Wales, The Delta Kappa Epsilon Club of New York and Ferrara Cafe.

Officers

The Association is led by elected officers and a Board of Governors. The most recent Chairman, Richard A. Cook, died in June 2007 after a long illness. The current President is Clinton W. Blume, III. The Association's Executive Director is Luke Vander Linden.

Past presidents have included James A. Farley.

Public Service Awards & College Scholarships

.

The public service awards are named for Isaac Liberman, founder of The Hundred Year Association when he was president of Arnold Constable Stores in Brooklyn.

The annual 'E. Virgil Conway College Scholarships' are awarded to the sons and daughters of New York City employees every year. They are named after E. Virgil Conway, who conceived of the scholarship program in 1971.

More than $1,000,000 has been granted since the awards program’s conception 48 years ago.

Gold Medal Awards
