Leadership Greater Syracuse Announces the Class of 2020
(December 2, 2019 – East Syracuse, NY) – Leadership Greater Syracuse (LGS) will welcome its 30th Class – the LGS Class of 2020 – at an orientation on Thursday, December 6, 2019, at 5:30 p.m. at the Palace Theater in Eastwood.
“Central New Yorkers look to LGS for personal development and professional connections that serve the greater good,” said Pam Brunet, LGS executive director and graduate of the LGS Class of 1998. “We are looking forward to connecting these individuals to the leaders in our community and empowering them with the knowledge they will use to make CNY better,” she added.
“The 54 participants in the Class of 2020 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 relationships they need to give back to CNY in a way that is significant to them,” Brunet said.
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 and inclusion. “LGS has a 29-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. “We are doing our part to prevent the brain drain,” she added. Brunet.
The participants (listed below) represent a cross-section of local business, education, and non-profit organizations.
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. Media sponsors include Charter Communications and The CNY Business Journal News Network.
