John Cameron
Hall of Fame
John Cameron has come a long way since graduating from the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point. The avid surfer, runner, and political aficionado is no doubt one of the first people elected officials call for advice when contemplating important decisions regarding planning on Long Island—long considered the place where lofty residential or private sector projects meet resistance, whether it’s from local municipalities or residents with important quality of life concerns. Cameron, founder and managing partner of Cameron Engineering & Associates, is three decades into his mission to improve living conditions on Long Island and foster economic growth. Cameron has not shown any sign of slowing down. He’s also received accolades for his philanthropic efforts and dedication to the region as a whole. Cameron has parlayed his success to appointments on several boards, including the Long Island Regional Planning Council and the Long Island STEM Hub in support of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math education.
