      Jason Belkin

       

      Jason Belkin, President of Jason Belkin Public
      Relations,
      established the company in 1998 to provide public information
      services and community relations for school districts and educational

After more than three years at News 12, Jason
      identified the need Long Island school districts, especially,
      had for more personalized public relations programs then they
      were being offered by large public relations companies. Jason Belkin Public
      Relations
      was formed to offer school districts, educational organizations,
      non-profit organizations, and small businesses an alternative
      to these impersonal "cookie-cutter" firms. 

      Since
      then, Jason
      Belkin Public Relations has produced award-winning publications, calendars,
      budget and bond issue materials, and advertising campaigns for
      dozens of clients. The company has also planned successful media
      events and designed Web sites.   

      
In
      between, Jason bought into a small espresso bar in Southampton
      called Hampton
      Coffee Company, and as CEO helped grow it into Long Island's
      largest independent roaster-retailer, with three espresso bar
      & café locations, a mail order/internet business,
      and a wholesale roasting division whose customers include Dean
      & Deluca, Waldbaum's, and King Kullen Supermarkets. Today,
      the company's yearly sales are in excess of $1 million. Celebrity
      clientele have included everyone from Richard Gere and Martha
      Stewart to Kid Rock and Tara Reid. Even former New York City
      Mayor Rudy Guiliani has stopped in.
 
       

       

      Jason's interest
      in educational journalism and the media began in high school
      when he became the first student to have his own weekly column
      ("For Your Information: East Rockaway Public Schools")
      published in the local newspaper. The column ran for more than
      three years -until he graduated!

      He is also
      proud of another "first". In 1992, Jason became the
      youngest manager for the McDonald's Corporation on Long Island.
      He worked for McDonald's for the four years he attended NYU and
      even graduated from the Long Island branch of Hamburger University.

      Jason is a
      member of the New
      York School Public Relations Association (NYSPRA) and the Long Island
      School Public Relations Association (LISPRA), as well as a lifetime member
      of Kappa Tau Alpha, the Journalism Honor Society, and the New
      York ASPCA. Jason is also a contributing writer for Hamptons
      View,
      an online magazine by Hamptons Online.

      Currently the
      Public Information Officer and spokesperson for the Town of Huntington,
      Jason lives in Westhampton Beach with his wife Theresa.
