Leadership Greater Syracuse Announces the Graduation of its 26th Class

 

(November 16, 2016 – Syracuse, New York) – Forty-six citizens are ready to take on high level community roles in Central New York as they are the recent graduates of Leadership Greater Syracuse (LGS).  The LGS Class of 2016 will celebrate their graduation on Wednesday, November 16th at Revolutions at 6:00 p.m. LGS now boasts nearly 1,300 alumni who have completed the annual community leadership training program since 1991.

“The Board of Directors, staff and I are very proud of this class. They have been immersed in the issues and achievements of our community and now have the tools and the connections they need to give back to CNY in a way that is meaningful to them,” Brunet said.  The participants represent a cross-section of local businesses and non-profit organizations. The program teaches participants about community leadership, empowerment, group dynamics, community opportunities and trends. “The future is bright for the organizations and businesses that will benefit from their involvement as the LGS Class of 2016 is made up of very enthusiastic and capable leaders,” Brunet continued.

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, Honeywell, Lockheed Martin, and VIP Structures. Media sponsors include Time Warner Cable News, The Syracuse Media Group, and The CNY Business Journal News Network.
