Rosalie Drago

With 30 years of New York-based economic and workforce development experience, Rosalie Drago has dedicated her career to equitable and inclusive growth; building economic foundations for quality, sustainable employment, and prosperity for the region through a place-based approach. Before joining Haugland Group as Community Economic & Workforce Development Manager, Rosalie completed her term as the first female Commissioner of Labor in Suffolk County. Her department was responsible for removing barriers to work for Suffolk County’s 1.5 million residents, fostering a diverse local talent pipeline for business and unions and ensuring a safe, level playing field for Suffolk’s 15,000 licensed businesses. Prior to joining Suffolk County, Commissioner Drago served as Long Island Regional Director for Workforce Development Institute, a statewide non-profit, where she partnered with Long Island employers, labor unions, lawmakers, and educators to strengthen communities through the creation of a more skilled workforce.
