MTA Long Island Rail Road
Railway Age, July, 2007
MTA Long Island Rail Road Acting President Raymond Kenny has handed over the reigns to Helena Williams, former president of Long Island Bus (1993-1998). Kenny, a 34-year LIRR veteran, took over the post in September 2006, following the resignation of James Dermody, who headed LIRR for nearly three years.
The first woman to lead the commuter rail agency, Williams' initial priorities are slated to be customer safety and service reliability. She began her career in New York City, working for the Mayor's Office of Municipal Labor Relations. She moved to the MTA in 1985 as labor counsel and was later promoted to Long Island Bus's chief of staff, before assuming the presidency in 1993. Williams served most recently as senior counsel at Cablevision and previously worked as Nassau Deputy County Executive.
