DeWITT — Leadership Greater Syracuse (LGS), a nonprofit offering a yearlong civic-engagement training program, has announced its class of 2016.
“Participants in the Class of 2016 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 connections they need to give back to CNY in a way that is significant to them,” Pam Brunet, LGS executive director and graduate of the LGS Class of 1998, said in a news release.
The participants represent a cross-section of local business, education, and nonprofit organizations. LGS says it teaches participants about community leadership, empowerment, group dynamics, community opportunities, and trends.
“LGS has a 25-year track record in inspiring people to make a difference in the community where we live and work,” Brunet contended.
