Meet your 2023-2024 Board of Directors

Your Big I Tri-County board of directors is a dedicated group of leaders proudly serving members in Nassau, Queens, Kings, and Richmond counties. We serve Big I Tri-County by providing a wide range of resources, information, advocacy work in Albany and Washington, D.C., and by providing opportunities for members to network with each other, carriers, and industry vendors. 

All members of Big I Tri-County are encouraged to reach out to any member of the board to discuss issues that are impacting their agency. 

President Bob Bleistein of Eastern Classic Coverage in Bethpage began his term in May 2023 and works with Immediate Past President Chris Dritsas of Advantage Partners in Great Neck and Vice President Patrick Marlowe of Silvershore Group in Rockville Center to lead the direction of the board. Ron Brunell of The Signature B&B Companies in Garden City is Treasurer-Secretary and is also Big I NY National Director and Past Chair of both Big I NY and Big I Tri-County. 

Ten directors from across the region contribute their time and energy to serve on various Big I Tri-County committees, including legislative, scholarships, meetings and events, member services, InVEST, website, sponsorships, and more.  You do not have to be a director to serve on a committee.
