Leadership Greater Syracuse Announces the Class of 2022

(December 2, 2021 – East Syracuse, NY) – Leadership Greater Syracuse (LGS) announces the 32^nd Class of its flagship program – the LGS Class of 2022.

“As evidenced throughout 2020 and 2021, excellent community leadership is as important as it has ever been,” said Pam Brunet, LGS executive director. “Whether it be serving on a board or in an elected capacity, leadership through good times and in crisis matters. Central New Yorkers look to LGS to create a pipeline of committed community leaders,” said Brunet.

“The 52 participants in the Class of 2022 will be immersed in the issues and achievements of our community — and through the year-long program, they will be provided the tools and the connections they need to give back to CNY in a way that is significant to them,” said Brunet.

LGS teaches participants about community leadership, empowerment, group dynamics and community opportunities. Participants will be very current on trends in government, education, health, economic development, and diversity, equity and inclusion. “LGS has a 31-year track record of inspiring people to make a difference in the community where we live and work,” Brunet said. A recent survey shows that 80 percent of all LGS graduates are still living in Central New York and have held more than 800 volunteer positions.

The participants (listed below) represent a cross-section of citizens who live in all communities within Central New York. “The LGS Class of 2022 are diverse in gender, age, race, ability, residence, profession, volunteer interest and type of employer,” said Brunet. “What they have in common, is a belief in our community and willingness to do their part to make it even better,” she added.

Leadership Greater Syracuse was founded by Centerstate CEO, Onondaga County, the City of Syracuse and Onondaga Community College. It is financially supported by many organizations including United Radio, Community Bank and VIP Structures.
