Blank Slate Media, which includes The Roslyn Times, is once again recognizing “the most influential and accomplished individuals in business, finance, education, law, not-for-profit, and media who continue to find ways to lead and inspire.” Among its 2024 honorees, Blank Slate Media has selected Howard Kroplick, co-president of the Roslyn Landmark Society, to be one of “Nassau County’s Top Business Leaders.”
A life-long resident of Long Island, Howard and his super wife Roz have lived in East Hills for 40 years, where they raised two wonderful daughters Deborah and Dana. Since selling his medical communications company 16 years ago, Howard Kroplick has been dedicated to giving back to the Long Island community through his various non-profit activities.
Howard and Roz were honored by CAPS (Child Abuse Prevention Services) with the 2007 John Davis Memorial Award in recognition of their commitment to child abuse prevention. Howard served on the Board of Trustees of the Sid Jacobson JCC in East Hills from 2000 to 2019. In May 2013, he was an honoree at the Sid Jacobson JCC’s Tenth Annual Friendship Circle Luncheon for his work in developing the JCC’s pioneering Early Alzheimer’s Disease Program.
From 2012 to 2019, Howard served as the Town Historian of North Hempstead documenting the history of the town and advocating for preserving its historic properties. He was awarded the 2016 Edmund J. Winslow Local Government Historian Award for Excellence by the Association of Public Historians of New York State. The award is given to one New York historian each year.
A trustee of the Roslyn Landmark Society since 2012, he served as its president from 2018 to 2022. He is currently its co-president with John Santos and chairman of the Executive Committee. Over the last 10 years, he has championed the restoration of the Roslyn Grist Mill and the Mackay Estate Gate Lodge and the preservation of the historic Roslyn community.
