Upon accepting the 2025 Business of the Year Award, Steve gave the following heartfelt speech:

“Good evening, everyone, I am truly honored to stand before you tonight to accept the Business of the Year Award. I want to thank the Chamber for this incredible recognition. And to have been selected during such an important milestone year as the Sesquicentennial here in Mt. Kisco.

I want to start by recognizing my wife and business partner, Linda, with whom I equally accept this award.

This award is not just a reflection of our company—it’s a reflection of the people in it. We’re proud to have a team of dedicated and hardworking individuals. This recognition belongs to them as much as it does to us. I’d like to ask our staff to stand when I call your name:

Paul Kocot, 4 years with us
Aaron Martin, 10 years
Jodie Wilson, 17 years
Robert Conroy, 20 years

Also, special thanks to Jim Galasso, part of our Minuteman Press family, who’s been with us since the beginning, all 21 years. Special, special thanks to my father, John Young, who is our secret weapon! Always the voice of encouragement and willing to drop anything he’s doing to help.

To our customers, thank you for your business. For trusting us with your printing. And for growing and bringing us along with you, so we grew too. Thank you to our community leaders and organizations that make Mt. Kisco a better place to work and live. There are many, but I am especially thinking of the Mt. Kisco Rotary Club, of which I serve as president. The Rotary Club is rooted in this community. The club gives back and builds relationships that benefit everyone.

I’m lucky to be joined this evening by my family, and longtime friends, and the many friends I see from this podium who help make this evening extra special. Thank you for being here. We are proud to have our business in Mt. Kisco and we’re excited for what’s ahead. Thank you again for this honor.”
