ALBANY, N.Y. — The Business Council of New York State, Inc. recently added a new member to its government affairs team,

The statewide business-advocacy organization announced on Sept. 27 that Mario Vazquez has come aboard as assistant director of government affairs. He formerly served as chief administrator at Excelsior Advisors and as a previous legislative aide to Assemblymember Marcos Crespo.

In his role at The Business Council, Vazquez will be assisting with all of the membership organization’s legislative-advocacy initiatives.

“I am excited to be joining The Business Council, as its membership is diverse and ever-growing, which includes small MWBEs to Fortune 500 companies,” Vazquez said in a release. “I look forward to being the newest advocate for The Business Council and to help further create an environment where we can grow and create jobs for the people of New York.”

Vazquez is a Capital Region native, growing up in Schodack and holds an associate degree from Hudson Valley Community College and a bachelor’s degree from the University at Albany.

“Mario Vazquez is a terrific addition and the right fit to The Business Council’s hard-working Government Affairs staff,” Paul Zuber, executive VP of The Business Council, contended. “Mario has the ideal background in the state legislature to make the necessary connections to further engage lawmakers on the important business issues to The Business Council and our members.”

Vazquez started in his new position at The Business Council on Sept. 19.
