Ostroff Associates is proud to congratulate Rick and Diana Ostroff on once again being recognized on City & State’s Albany Power 100, the annual list of the most influential New Yorkers shaping state government and politics.
This recognition reflects what so many clients, colleagues, and partners experience every day: Rick and Diana pair results-driven leadership with a deep, shared commitment to Albany. They show up for the city’s people, institutions, and future, investing in the relationships that move progress forward.
In Albany, influence is earned through credibility, consistency, and the ability to turn complex issues into workable solutions. Rick and Diana bring exactly that approach to every engagement and deliver strategic counsel that helps organizations navigate New York’s legislative, budget, and regulatory landscape with clarity and confidence.
City & State also highlighted the firm’s role as a leading presence in Albany and pointed to recent work that helped modernize New York’s approach to the public accounting profession. That work included legislation to better align the pathway to the CPA exam with other states, allowing New Yorkers to have higher access to a respected field of study. This kind of progress is only possible through thoughtful collaboration, strong policy fluency, and steady advocacy. Those are the qualities that define Rick and Diana’s leadership.
Congratulations again to Rick and Diana and to all of this year’s Albany Power 100 honorees. The complete Albany Power 100 list can be viewed here.
