Citrin Cooperman and the Westfair Business Journal once again invite you to the 2025 “Women in Power” event at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, at Manhattanville University in Purchase.
Catherine Sabol – partner, Citrin Cooperman – will moderate a panel that includes Katrina M. Adams, executive director of Harlem Junior Tennis & Education Program; Tyré Robinson, Tarrytown, New York, regional president of M&T Bank; and Tara Rosenblum, a host and reporter at News12.
After a networking buffet, the panelists will share their journeys, strategies and the lessons they’ve learned along the way, demonstrating how they overcame challenges and broke through barriers to reach the top.
The child of Chicago educators, Adams left Northwestern University to become a professional tennis player, ranking as high as No. 67 in singles and No. 8 in doubles on the Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tour before turning to coaching and commentating. But she has also stood out in leadership roles, joining the board of directors of the White Plains-based United States Tennis Association (USTA) in 2005 and rising from vice president of the nonprofit to first vice president to president and chair, becoming the first African-American, first former professional player and youngest person to serve in those two top positions. She is also the author of “Own the Arena: Getting Ahead, Making a Difference, and Succeeding as the Only One” (Amistad/HarperCollinsPublishers, 2021).
Robinson, who earned her MBA at New York University’s Stern School of Business, is responsible for leading the Metro New York and Southern Connecticut Market as a Business Banking Market manager. She also conceptualized and implemented the Brand Builder Program, which has helped more than 2,500 employees take an active role in their career development. Robinson is a sponsor for the Equity One Sponsorship program, an overarching education and awareness campaign that promotes diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
As a longtime anchor/host/reporter for the News 12 Network, Rosenblum focuses on investigative and political stories. She’s also one of the most award-winning local TV reporters in the country, with more than 300 industry awards, including 2017 and 2022 National Edward R. Murrow Awards, 56 Emmy Award wins and 211 Emmy nominations (15 of them for New York’s top general assignment reporter). In 2014 and every year from 2016 to 2023, she was the most Emmy-nominated TV reporter in the New York market. Rosenblum’s passion for breaking news has led her to travel the state, country and world. Some of the major events she has covered include the Virginia Tech Massacre, the 2008, ’12, ’16 and ’20 presidential races and Hurricane Katrina.
With a bachelor’s degree summa cum laude from Binghamton University and a Juris Doctor cum laude from Pace University, Sabol brings 19 years of consulting experience in state and local tax to her role at Citrin Cooperman’s White Plains office, where she assists clients in managing their tax burden by addressing client issues with respect to income and franchise, sales and use, employment and property taxes. Prior to joining Citrin Cooperman, she was a senior manager at BDO, USA in the Northeast state and local tax group. Sabol started her career as an associate in the financial services group in the state and local tax practice at PwC.
