Local attorney and community leader Travis Stockman, founder of Stockman Poropat, has been named Business Person of the Year by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, recognizing his professional accomplishments and dedication to community service.
Stockman learned of the honor through the Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce, where he serves as both in-house counsel and a board member. “I was really grateful for the opportunity,” Stockman said. “It’s nice to hear that I’m making that kind of difference and that kind of dent in the community.”
In addition to running his law firm, Stockman has played a pivotal role in revitalizing local events and supporting small businesses.
