SYRACUSE — The Central New York chapter of KeyBank’s Key4Women has recognized Theresa Slater as its 2024 Key4Women Achieve Award Winner. The award honors and recognizes the accomplishments of women business leaders and their contributions to the Central New York region. In addition to the award, KeyBank also made a $2,500 donation in Slater’s honor to the WISE Women’s Business Center, which supports women entrepreneurs in Central New York. Slater, president and CEO of Empire Interpreting Service of Syracuse, served as the keynote speaker for the Key4Women chapter’s annual breakfast forum held Oct. 9 at Bellevue Country Club in Syracuse. Empire Interpreting Service is a language-service provider serving domestic and international clients. It provides services both on site and in virtual settings for customers in need of sign language and/or spoken-language services, per the KeyBank announcement. In her remarks at the forum, Slater shared insight into how she grew the business from her home office in 2003 to a multi-location, multi-faceted language-service provider. The Key4Women Achieve Award is open to clients of KeyBank. The organization gives it annually to a female leader in the region who has achieved a high level of success in her profession, is a community leader, and is a supporter of other women in Central New York, KeyBank said. “Through advocacy, connections and empowerment, Key4Women supports the financial progress and empowerment of business women. We’ve been helping women meet their financial and business goals since 2005,” per the KeyBank website.
