Giana B. Harrison named to the prestigious 40 Under 40 list

 

Giana B. Harrison has been named a recipient of the prestigious 40 Under 40 Award by the Long Island Business News, a Ronkonkoma-based business journal. The annual award recognizes outstanding members of the business community on Long Island who are under the age of 40.

 

Harrison, who is a resident of Hicksville, was recently promoted to the position of deputy administrator/vice president of operations at Tri-County Home Nursing Services, a home healthcare agency with offices in Westbury and Coram that is one of the largest woman-owned and minority-owned businesses on Long Island. In her new role, Harrison is responsible for directing human resource management, office administration, billing and payroll, marketing and community relations for the agency, which serves Nassau, Suffolk and Queens. Harrison, who was previously assistant executive director, joined the firm full-time in 2004, after working there part-time while in college. She holds a Master of Science in mental health counseling from Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida, and a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama, where she minored in marketing. As a member-at-large of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc., Harrison performs community service to help school children realize their potential.  

Harrison will be presented with her award during a gala ceremony at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury on Jan. 26. Award recipients, who are regarded as the future leaders of Long Island, are chosen because they have already begun to distinguish themselves in business, government, education, healthcare and the nonprofit sector. They have a proven track record of career success, are involved in mentoring and promoting their profession and find time to give back to the community.
