September 18, East Meadow, NY – Fred Skolnik, Partner in the Corporate/Securities Practice Group at Certilman Balin, has been appointed to the Board of LIMSAT (Long Island Matrix of Science and Technology).

LIMSAT’s principal mission is to introduce science to young people in a way that will ignite their curiosity, understanding and enduring interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by the use of interactive programming and exhibits. To accomplish this mission, LIMSAT has partnered with Brookhaven National Laboratory.  LIMSAT’s long-term planning vision is to create the Portal to Discovery, an engaging and sustainable science and exploration center that serves families and schools and has significant impact on family and adult learning on Long Island. A first step towards achieving this vision has been the partnership with Brookhaven National Laboratory to form the Portal to Discovery.

Mr. Skolnik is a member of the Leadership Council of the Mentoring Partnership of Long Island, serves on the Board of Directors of Farmingdale College Foundation, and is also a co-founder and the administrator of LIKE (Lawyers Involved in Kids’ Education), a program that establishes mentoring relationships between attorneys and potentially “at-risk” elementary school students and seeks to develop vocabulary and analytical skills in the mentees through word games. A magna cum laude graduate of Queens College of the City University of New York and a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Epsilon, the national economics honor society, Mr. Skolnik is a cum laude graduate of St. John’s University School of Law.
