As leader of Westchester County’s largest and most influential business organization, Dr. Gordon brings more than 25 years of community, commerce and leadership experience. Under her leadership, BCW has tripled its membership, developed programs to meet the needs of the County’s diverse business community and become a lead advocate for business and economic development in the region and New York State.
“Marsha Gordon is widely considered to be an authority on the business climate in Westchester County, as well as one of the most effective connectors of businesses of all sizes and community-based organizations,” said Joseph D. Roberto, chairman, president and chief executive officer of PCSB Bank. “She will be a tremendous asset to our Board, as PCSB Bank continues to help Lower Hudson Valley businesses grow and thrive.”
Dr. Gordon has been president of The Business Council of Westchester (White Plains) since 2001. She was also president of Build the Bridge Now, which helped to fast track the building of a new Tappan Zee Bridge. Governor Cuomo appointed Dr. Gordon to the executive committee of the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Council, resulting in $300 million+ of state dollars invested in the region for infrastructure, workforce training, and economic development. She was recently named as the third most powerful person in Westchester County by City and State NY.
Marsha Gordon serves on multiple boards, including the Business Council of New York State, the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Investment Board.
