Onondaga County Executive J. Ryan McMahon II was on hand to congratulate the graduates.

“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,” said LGS Executive Director Pam Brunet.  The participants represent a cross-section of local businesses and non-profit organizations. “The LGS Class of 2018 is also our most racially diverse class with 15 percent identifying themselves as racial minorities,” said Brunet.

The program teaches participants about community leadership, empowerment, group dynamics, community opportunities and trends.

“The future is bright for the organizations that will benefit from their knowledge and involvement as the LGS Class of 2018 is made up of very enthusiastic and capable leaders,” Brunet said. Approximately 80 percent of all the LGS graduates remain in CNY. A recent survey shows that they have held more than 800 volunteer positions.

Leadership Greater Syracuse was founded by Centerstate CEO, Onondaga County, the City of Syracuse and Onondaga Community College.  LGS is financially supported by many organizations including United Radio and VIP Structures. Media sponsors include Charter Communications, Advanced Media Group and The CNY Business Journal News Network.
