MVCC Center for Leadership Excellence graduates 2022 classes

UTICA — The Center for Leadership Excellence at Mohawk Valley Community College (MVCC) recently celebrated the 2022 graduates of its leadership-development programs, including Leadership Mohawk Valley (LMV), Neighborhoods Rising, Supervisors Institute, and Leadership Academy. 

The Center for Leadership Excellence says it “connects and inspires leaders from across the Mohawk Valley to think and lead in innovative ways to make a positive difference in our region.”

LMV is a 10-month long civic-leadership training program for established professionals who are committed to making a difference in their organization and across the Mohawk Valley. 

Neighborhoods Rising is a course for Black and Latino adults from the Utica area who want to make a positive difference in the community. It helps foster grass-roots leadership, expanding personal networks, and boosting relationships with civic, political, and social community leaders.

Supervisors Institute is for mid-career professionals, helping them develop a more-advanced understanding of leadership principles and build a supervisory toolkit to maximize their team’s performance. The program seeks to help move attendees beyond a supervisory manager role to becoming an influential leader.

Leadership Academy is for early-career professionals. Participants learn to maximize their individual strengths in order to expand their professional and community involvement.
