After spending 20+ years building a company that contributed significantly to Central New York’s economy, I wanted to find new ways to continue to support this growth. Providing my perspective, insights, and recommendations as a Member of the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council allows me to continue to contribute while also seeing – in action – the positive results of Network Effects in urban communities.
The REDC has awarded more than $600 million for more than 1,000 projects in Central New York, which have helped to create 15,000 new jobs and retain 34,000 in our region! As a member of the CNYREDC through April, 2025, I had a lens into all of Upstate New York, and how all communities can positively influence one another.
