The Hundred Year Association of New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hundred Year Association of New York was founded in 1927 to recognize and reward 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 of New York. 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.
The Hundred Year Association of New York is a not-for-profit organization, tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

[edit] Public Service Awards & College Scholarships
Initiated in 1958, the Association grants the 'Isaac Liberman Public Service Awards' annually to career New York City civil servants who have excelled beyond their normal duties during the course of the year. Employees are nominated by their supervisor and department's commissioner or director and awards are determined by the Association's Awards Committee in conjunction with the City of New York's Department of Citywide Administrative Services.
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.
